Tavaborole: A Long-Term Solution for Toenail Fungus?

This study investigates the long-term effectiveness of tavaborole topical solution, a treatment for onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the toenails. The researchers pooled data from two phase 3 clinical trials, focusing on patients who had experienced complete or almost clear nail (CN) at the end of treatment (week 52). They found that tavaborole continued to show a significant benefit in maintaining clear nails even after the treatment period ended.
