It features an aseptic dropper-tip applicator that delivers the medical strength fungus-killing formula directly to the site of infection without the increased risk of re-infecting the area with a contaminated brush applicator. Mycocide NS is patented and formulated to penetrate to the site of infection. Mycocide NS effectively kills fungus and germs that can cause infections making fingers, toes, and the areas around and under nails look and feel better. Mycocide NS is odor-free, contains no harsh acids or alcohols, and will not dry skin. Mycocide NS has no contraindication to any oral medications."
