- Efinaconazole is used to treat toenail infections caused by fungus, functioning by inhibiting the growth of specific types of fungi.
- It belongs to the class of drugs known as azole antifungals.
- This medication is effective only against fungal infections and does not work for other types of infections, such as bacterial ones.
- Avoid unnecessary use or overuse of this drug, as it can result in decreased effectiveness.
- Read the Patient Information Leaflet and Instructions for Use provided by your pharmacist before using efinaconazole and each time you refill it. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
- Before applying, clean and dry the infected toenail(s) and wait at least 10 minutes after showering, bathing, or washing. Apply this medication only on the infected toenail(s) as directed by your doctor, usually once daily for 48 weeks. If used on a child, an adult should apply it.
- Use the provided brush to apply the medication, ensuring complete coverage of the toenail, toenail folds, toenail bed, and under the edges. Wash hands after application.
- Avoid contact with other parts of the body; if accidental contact occurs, wipe off the medication and rinse thoroughly with water.
- Use the medication regularly at the same time each day for optimal benefits. Continue the full prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve after a few days, as nail fungus treatment requires time for healthy nails to replace the infected ones. Stopping early may lead to a recurrence of the infection.
- Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve or worsens.
- Due to the product’s flammability, avoid using it near heat or an open flame (refer to the Storage section).
- Possible side effects of efinaconazole may include irritation or pain at the application site, blisters, or an ingrown toenail. If these effects persist or worsen, discontinue the medication and promptly inform your doctor or pharmacist.
- The medication is prescribed because its benefits are deemed greater than the risk of side effects for most individuals.

- Inform your doctor or pharmacist about any allergies to efinaconazole, other azole antifungals (such as clotrimazole, fluconazole, ketoconazole), or any other allergies, as the product may contain inactive ingredients that can cause allergic reactions.
