ABSTRACT:
Onychomycosis (Tinea unguium) is said to be the most common cosmetological nail fungal infection. Dermatophyte is a type of fungus that causes this condition. Discoloration and thickening of the nail are found to be the common symptoms of all nail diseases. In this scenario, Onychomycosis is considered as one of the cosmetic problems that leads to cellulitis in adults and diabetic patients. Anatomical structure of the nail and disease manifestations made nail disorders as a difficult endeavor. Onychomycosis is chronic and difficult to eradicate. Many oral antifungal agents are available for the treatment of nail infections. The oral and parenteral administration of antifungal agents can elevate the serum hepatic enzyme levels and causes typical hepatocellular injury within a few weeks of therapy. The goal of this review is to study the role of transungal delivery systems (nail patches) as a promising tool for onychomycosis to encounter the clinical conditions of the patient. Longer therapies and technical treatment methods may frustrate the patients. This novel antifungal therapy helps to avoid the surgical removal of nail for onychomycosis patients. Eradication of issues with Onychomycosis can be achieved by an excellent delivery system with deeper drug release and drug retention in the nail cuticle. Patients who are suffered from onychomycosis are facing embarrassment and disfigurement in the society. So, this newer treatment solution can improve the quality of life of patients.1-3
