I’m sorry this does not have anything to do with recent episodes. However, several weeks ago a toenail medication was mentioned on the show. Does anyone remember the name? I thought it was Murinal (but I do not know the spelling). Any reply would be great.

Give Foot Fungus the Boot

David reveals that the skin around his toes is scaly and dry, and wintertime exacerbates his symptoms. Podiatrist Robert Klein comes to the rescue. David often wears boots and his foot sweats. The dark and moist environment creates what Dr. Klein calls the “perfect storm” for fungus. David says he was prescribed oral medication for his condition but was afraid of the side effects. Dr. Klein suggests a topical remedy called Miranel, and he applies some to David’s affected nail bed. Miranel contains an anti-fungal agent, as well as tea tree oil, eucalyptus, menthol and camphor. David must apply the ointment for eight to 12 months for his condition to improve and wear open-toed shoes so his feet can breathe.
