Fungicidal Activity in the Presence of Keratin as an Important Factor Contributing to In Vivo Efficacy: A Comparison of Efinaconazole, Tavaborole, and Ciclopirox
Use of oral antifungals in the treatment of onychomycosis is commonplace; but their use can be limited by safety and patient concerns. Due to their broader safety margins, topical antifungals (efinaconazole, tavaborole, and ciclopirox) are a useful option in the treatment of mild-to-moderate onychom...
