Tavaborole, sold under the brand name Kerydin, is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the nail.[1] It is used by applying it to the nail in question.[1] Evidence supports its use in mild to moderate disease.[2]
Side effects may include skin irritation and an ingrown toenail.[1] It works by inhibits a enzyme, leucyl-tRNA synthetase, that is required for fungus to make protein.[1]
Tavaborole was approved for medical use in the United States in 2014.[3] In the United States 10 ml of solution costs about 1,600 USD as of 2021.[4] It is also available in Canada but not in Europe as of 2018.[5]
