A Scientifically Designed Topical Treatment for Toenail Onychomycosis JUBLIA® (efinaconazole) Topical Solution, 10%

Warren Joseph, DPM, FIDSA

Onychomycosis has been a consistent topic at podiatric and dermatology conferences since the first truly effective FDA approved oral antifungal, terbinafine, was approved in the late 1990s. Therapeutically, the major change in the intervening 20 years has been the approvals of the prescription topical therapies; ciclopirox lacquer, effinaconazole solution and tavaborole solution. Dr. Joseph will present topics that traditionally have not been discussed in detail in the majority of onychomycosis presentations. These include the emergence of antifungal resistance, primarily to the previous “Gold Standard” antifungal terbinafine, some unique aspects of the molecular diagnosis of fungal infections, and, finally, examine the evidence for the use of over-the-counter topical antifungal products that are available at local pharmacies and being dispense in podiatrist’s offices.

Goals and Objectives
  1. Recognize that increasing rates of resistance to antifungal drugs, such as terbinafine, may begin to limit their clinical usefulness.
  2. Understand the microbiology of antifungal resistance and how it may be minimized with appropriate therapy
  3. Appreciate the strict standards set by the FDA to approve new antifungal agents for the treatment of onychomycosis
  4. Identify the clinical evidence in the literature to support the use of the marketed OTC agents
