About Emtrix® and nail diseases
Emtrix® is a prescription free, topical nail product and has the potential to become first-line treatment for common nail disorders. Launch of Emtrix® was initiated in the first markets in September 2010. Safety and efficacy has been demonstrated in several clinical studies including more than 500 patients. Emtrix® 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 and is more common in the elderly. 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.
