Department of Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, 110062, India

Abstract

Onychomycosis is often challenging therapeutically and demands a multipronged approach both in terms of systemic as well as topical delivery. The conventional treatment modalities available for onychomycosis are marred with challenges such as low permeation, infection reoccurrence and resistance development. Henceforth, the current article explores the concept of a Transnail drug-delivery device as a promising tool offering high clinical potential and aesthetic suitability against onychomycosis.
