What is tavaborole and how does it work?
Tavaborole is a topical antifungal medicine approved by the FDA to treat onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the toenails caused by the fungi Trichophyton rubrum or Trichophyton mentagrophytes. It comes as a 5% solution that you brush onto the affected toenails once a day. It belongs to a class called oxaboroles and works by blocking an enzyme the fungus needs (leucyl-tRNA synthetase), which stops the fungus from making the proteins it needs to grow.
Tavaborole is the generic form of the brand Kerydin, which has been discontinued in the U.S. Treatment is applied for a full 48 weeks, so patience and consistency matter. Tavaborole is for use on the toenails only.

Tavaborole safety and side effects
Tavaborole has no boxed warning. It is for external use on the toenails only and should not be taken by mouth or used in the eyes or vagina, or applied to the skin. The solution is flammable, so keep it away from heat and open flame during and right after you apply it. The most common side effects are mild reactions where you apply it, such as ingrown toenail, redness, dermatitis, and peeling (exfoliation) at the application site.
It is also worth knowing that results are modest: in clinical trials, complete cure rates were roughly 6 to 9 percent. This information is not medical advice. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether tavaborole is right for you and report any side effects that concern you.
