Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Five months of therapy is sufficient to treat onychomycosis in children. Topical therapy of onychomycosis in children with Penlac nail lacquer has comparable efficacy and a superior cost and safety profile compared to systemic therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Therapeutic trials for the treatment of onychomycosis have been conducted in the adult population, but there is limited data available in the pediatric population.
