Efinaconazole - topical

Efinaconazole is used to treat fungal infection of the nail.

Apply Efinaconazole exactly as directed by your doctor or according to the instructions on the label. Do not use it more often or over a larger area than instructed by your doctor.

To use the solution, follow these steps:

1. Apply Efinaconazole to clean, dry toenails. Wait for at least 10 minutes after showering, bathing, or washing before application.
2. Remove the cap from the bottle. Hold the bottle upside down directly over the affected toenail to moisten the brush with the solution.

4. Gently spread the solution with the brush around the entire toenail, including the cuticle, folds of the skin next to the sides of the toenail, and underneath the nail. For the big toe, apply a second drop at the end of the toenail using the tip of the brush (repeat step 2 if necessary).
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each affected toenail.
6. Replace the cap of the bottle.
7. Let the solution dry completely.
8. Wash your hands.
