STRIDE ™ DUO vs. STRIDE™ SOLO: Which Plan Fits Your Situation?

Choosing a toenail fungal infection treatment is not simply about finding the strongest option. The right approach depends on factors such as the severity and extent of the infection, your treatment preferences, and whether you can or want to take oral antifungal medication. At STRIDE™, a licensed clinician reviews your case and determines which prescription approach may be appropriate.

STRIDE DUO™: Oral + Topical Treatment

STRIDE DUO™ combines prescription oral antifungal medication, such as terbinafine or fluconazole when clinically appropriate, with STRIDE™ ClearNail Renewal™ topical treatment. The oral nail fungus medication works systemically, while the topical solution is applied directly to the nail, creating STRIDE's “top-down + bottom-up” treatment approach. STRIDE™ positions DUO as its combination option for patients who are appropriate candidates for both oral and topical therapy.

STRIDE™ SOLO: Topical-Only Treatment

STRIDE™ SOLO uses STRIDE ClearNail Renewal™ as a standalone prescription topical option. It may be suitable for people who cannot take or prefer to avoid oral medication, as the treatment works from the surface of the nail without systemic absorption.

Which Is the Best Toenail Fungus Treatment Plan?

Every person requires a different toenail fungus treatment approach. One needs to see a doctor before planning combination therapy of STRIDE DUO™ or using only a topical solution. The doctor will need to consider a person's infection status, treatment history, and preferences.

The most useful next step is a clinical evaluation rather than choosing a plan based on a single feature or advertised result. With STRIDE™, a licensed clinician can review your situation and recommend an appropriate prescription treatment option.
