Hello there...I can understand your concern. Have you shown itto any dermatologist and confirmed it's a fungal infection or are you just taking it on your own. Fungal infection infection can be confirmed through koh examination and fungal culture. Nail infections usually take a long time to go and drug resistance is very common. Consult a good dermatologist for further evaluation. They might change the antifungal to itraconazole
