Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to compare subject adherence and satisfaction for two modes of treatment toenails infection (Onychomycosis) with Loceryl Nail Lacquer (Loceryl NL) and a Fungal Nail Treatment Set containing Urea 40% ointment (Urea) and Bifonazole cream 1% (Bifonazole).

Detailed Description

A total of 20 subjects are to be included in 1 site in Iceland

Methodology:

Subjects will receive following treatments on the right or left toenails:

* Loceryl Nail Lacquer (Loceryl NL) to be applied once weekly for 7 weeks on all affected toenails of one foot (including great toenail)

* Fungal Nail Treatment Set to be used on all affected toenails (including great toenail) of the opposite foot in two phases:

* Phase I: Urea ointment (Urea) to be applied once a day under occlusion for 2-3 weeks depending on the achievement of optimal diseased toenail plates removal

* Phase II: Bifonazole cream to (Bifonazole) be applied for 4 weeks on affected toenails (after the maximum 3-week treatment period with Urea ointment)
