Abstract

Three systemic agents commonly are used for the treatment of onychomycosis. Until the introduction of ciclopirox in 1999, these were the only FDA-approved therapeutic options for managing these infections. With the recent approval of two new topical antifungal agents-efinaconazole in the azole class, and tavaborole, a unique boron-containing medication- clinicians and patients have an improved roster of medications for managing onychomycosis.
