Formulas 3 and 7 Clear Up Athlete’s Foot Fast, For Good!

The team at The Tetra Corporation is quite familiar with athlete’s foot, the pesky fungal infection physicians know as tinea pedis. Here’s the thing, though: despite its common nature and ability to affect pretty much anyone, athlete’s foot can prove resistant to treatment with some of the most commonly available over the counter topicals.

Fortunately, we don’t make just one podiatrist approved product for resolving the peeling, itchiness, and scaly skin this uncomfortable condition causes. We make several, and all of them boast FDA approval alongside the confident endorsement of healthcare professionals. For this blog, we’ll focus on how our Formula 3 and Formula 7 products deliver swift relief and proven results when treating tinea pedis, making them a potent option for any physician or practice.

Formula 3 Antifungal:  The Original

The FDA has approved the use of tolnaftate for treating and preventing athlete’s foot for more than 50 years, and today, it’s used in over 70 products worldwide. These are all available over the counter or even online, and they’re suspensions of tolnaftate.

Formula 3, however, was the first of our products to break that mold:

• As an in-solution product, Formula 3 features Tetra’s patented technology for utilizing all-natural jojoba oil as a vehicle for tolnaftate.
• It’s the first ever option to feature zero separation between the tolnaftate and the vehicle carrying it, allowing direct delivery and quick absorption at levels previously unheard of!

Formula 3 Antifungal has received the American Podiatric Medical Association’s seal of approval, so patients will feel confident and trust its effectiveness.

• Instruct patients to use it after showering for optimal absorption.
• A bottle lasts three to six months, offering exceptional overall value.

With a pregnancy rating of C, Formula 3 is among the products your patients should consult you about before using if they are pregnant or nursing. The presence of essential oils also means there’s a very rare chance that an allergic reaction could occur.

Formula 7: A Powerful New Option

We’re always innovating and never content to rest on our laurels. That’s why we’ve created and patented Formula 7, a paraben free soluble tolnaftate antifungal!

• This microemulsion, the first ever featuring tolnaftate, is bolstered by both cosmetic ingredients and bactericidal components, so it’s got plenty of new perks to offer.

On the aesthetic side, Formula 7 makes use of ingredients that rehydrate and restore the natural appearance of skin and nails.

• N-acetyl-l-cysteine enhances penetration, allowing increased tolfnatate flux through keratin and providing a bactericidal boost to break down the biofilms of prominent pathogens.
• Urea increases hydration of the skin’s top layers, helping to loosen horny outer skin and shed scaly patches. Formula 7 also softens the nail plate, increasing its permeability for future cosmetic debridement.
• A dash of Tea Tree Oil completes the picture with additional antifungal and antiseptic properties, not to mention a little extra capacity for fighting off bacteria and germs.
• Last but not least, patients tend to appreciate the new ½ fl. Oz. (15ml) tube, which has an integrated brush applicator for extra ease of use!
