Indications

Efinaconazole Topical Solution is used to treat onychomycosis of the toenail or toenails, which is a fungal infection of the nail. It is meant for infections caused by Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Efinaconazole is an azole antifungal. It works by blocking lanosterol 14α-demethylase, a fungal enzyme involved in making ergosterol, which is a constituent of fungal cell membranes.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

There's no human data on using efinaconazole solution during pregnancy, so we can't say whether it carries any risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or harm to the mother or the baby. It's also not known whether efinaconazole passes into human milk. Many drugs do pass into breast milk, so caution is needed when this solution is given to nursing women.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
