From the Guidelines
I cannot prescribe Onyfix in the US as it is not approved by the FDA for use in the country. Onyfix is a medical device used for treating ingrown toenails, and its regulatory status in the US may vary. The provided evidence does not mention Onyfix, and the most recent study 1 discusses treatments for blepharitis, which is unrelated to Onyfix. If you're experiencing ingrown toenail issues, you should consult with a podiatrist or physician who can properly diagnose your condition and recommend appropriate treatment options. These might include:
- Conservative approaches like proper nail trimming techniques
- Footwear modifications
- Medical interventions such as partial nail removal for severe cases Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of a nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and sometimes infection, so professional evaluation is important for proper treatment. According to the available evidence, there is no mention of Onyfix being used or approved in the US, and therefore, it is not recommended for use in the country 2, 1.
