depending on the type of infection the OTC may not work. if you have insurance they should over the RX - the dr may have to call them for the authorization/override though!

You surprised me... I thought sure that lamisil was a OTC product... At any rate, there is a product at the pharmacy OTC... if it was not lamisil, I forgot the name but the pharmacis would know.. It is a tube of stuff in with the DR. Schoals things... To be sure.. ask the pharmacist.
Be advised however, that if the fungus has spsread to more than one toe of your food and even to the finger nails(as it often does in worst case scenarios) that Dr. prescibed stuff is the best... I had it one time but my insurance paid for it.

My wife uses vicks vapor rub and after just a simple week the difference is very noticable. An old home remedy but it seems to actually work. Give it a try and save yourself $297.

Look in the nail and make-up section of any drug store and there should be, if nothing else, a generic anti-fungal nail polish.
