Onychomycosis is a fungal nail plate infection that has been increasing in
prevalence. A variety of oral and topical anti-fungal agents are currently
available but their use is limited by their adverse effect profile, drug-drug
interactions, and limited efficacy. Therefore, there is a great need for newer
anti-fungal agents. Tavaborole is one of these newer agents and was approved by
the US Food and Drug Administration in July 2014 for the topical treatment of
mild to moderate toenail onychomycosis. Tavaborole is a novel, boron-based
anti-fungal agent with greater nail plate penetration than its predecessors, due
to its smaller molecular weight. It has proven through several Phase II and III
trials that it can be a safe and effective topical agent for the treatment of
mild to moderate toenail onychomycosis without the need for debridement. In this
paper, we review the landscape of topical and systemic treatment of
onychomycosis, with particular attention to the pharmacokinetics, safety, and
efficacy of topical tavaborole.
