Abstract
A method for treating onychomycosis uses a treatment protocol that atraumatically and subungually administers an antifungal agent dissolved in a liquid pharmaceutical composition to a subungual space to so achieve a minimum inhibitory concentration of the antifungal agent with respect to a dermatophyte in the subungual space. The treatment protocol typically includes a series of administrations, typically at least 4 weeks spaced apart, which achieves cure rates well above 70% after no more than 12 months of administration.
