About the product and nail fungus
Moberg’s topical nail product is prescription free and has the potential to become first-line treatment for common nail disorders. Safety and efficacy have been demonstrated in several clinical studies including more than 500 patients. The product has a unique and rapid mechanism of action which brings visible improvements within 2-4 weeks of treatment.
Nail fungus is the most common nail disease and afflicts approximately 10% of the general population. The estimated global market potential exceeds USD 1 billion. The untapped potential is significant since many patients remain untreated. It is generally recognized that there is a need for new efficacious and safe topical treatments.
