Brief Answer:
You can start treatment , don't worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Nail psoriasis especially over the fingers might take anything between three to six months to heal while feet nail may take longer, upto nine months.
This medicine clears up completely from the body three months after stopping the drug, so it does not cause any problems in conceiving after this period.
You can continue to take the medicines for low blood pressure . They do not interact with this drug.
