Why us?
Say goodbye to long waits and slow over-the-counter solutions. We prescribe proven treatments that have been proven to work.
Fungal nail infections can cause nails to appear thickened, discolored, or brittle, often resulting in discomfort or embarrassment. These infections rarely clear on their own and can spread to other nails if left untreated.
Common signs of fungal nail infections include:
A fungal nail infection (known medically as onychomycosis) occurs when fungi infect the nail bed, usually in the toenails but sometimes in the fingernails. The infection can cause discolouration, thickening, brittleness, or separation of the nail from the skin beneath it.
Fungal nail infections are common and contagious, often developing after exposure in warm, damp places such as gyms, swimming pools, or shared showers. Without treatment, the infection can spread to other nails and lead to long-term discomfort or embarrassment.
At smartscripts.ie, we prescribe clinically proven antifungal tablets and topical treatments that target the infection at its source.
Our goal is to help you clear the infection, restore healthy nail growth, and prevent recurrence, all through a quick, discreet online consultation.
Our registered Irish doctors typically prescribe antifungal tablets, which are the most effective method for treating fungal nail infections:
We prescribe prescription-strength antifungal medications, which are the most effective way to eliminate fungal nail infections at their source.
These treatments work by targeting the fungus that causes nail discolouration, thickening, and brittleness, promoting healthy new nail growth over time.
This type of treatment works from the inside out to clear the infection through your bloodstream.
It’s typically recommended for more stubborn or extensive nail infections affecting several nails or the nail bed.
Benefits include:
These treatments are applied directly to the nail surface, penetrating the nail plate to reach the infection underneath.
They are ideal for mild or early-stage infections or when oral tablets aren’t suitable.
Benefits include:
Treats the nail locally without systemic side effects
Gradually clears visible fungal staining and thickening
Easy to apply at home as part of your daily routine
Can be used alongside oral treatment for enhanced results
This type of treatment works from the inside out to clear the infection.
Benefits include:
Fungal nails typically appear thickened, discoloured (yellow, brown, white), brittle, distorted, or crumbly, and may emit an unpleasant odour. However, similar changes can also occur with psoriasis, trauma, or dermatitis. A licensed physician may confirm by examining the nail or using lab tests like microscopy or culture.
No. In mild cases, over-the-counter antifungal creams, ointments, or nail lacquers may help. However, these nonprescription options are often less effective, especially if the infection is deep or involves the nail bed. At smartscripts.ie, we focus on prescription-strength treatments (oral or topical) for more reliable clearance.
Curing onychomycosis takes time because nails grow slowly. Even with effective treatment, it can take several months to over a year—especially for toenails—to grow out fully.
