When comparing treatment options for fungal skin or nail infections, consider effectiveness, cost, and route of administration:
| Medication | Use Case | Side Effect Risk | Cost (Generic) | Administration |
| Ciclopirox | Nail and skin fungal infections | Low | Low | Topical: cream, lacquer, shampoo |
| Efinaconazole | Toenail fungal infections | Low | High | Topical solution |
| Terbinafine | Nail and skin fungal infections | Moderate | Low | Oral and topical forms |
| Tavaborole | Toenail fungal infections | Low | High | Topical solution |
Ciclopirox is a versatile antifungal agent effective against a broad spectrum of fungi. While its cure rates for nail infections are modest, it is generally well-tolerated and cost-effective. Efinaconazole and tavaborole are newer topical treatments with higher efficacy but come at a higher cost. Terbinafine, available in both oral and topical forms, is often considered the first-line treatment due to its high cure rates, though it carries a moderate risk of side effects, especially in its oral form.
