Kerydin Topical Solution (Tavaborole)

Do’s

• Before using Kerydin Topical Solution,  read the Patient Information Leaflet and Instructions for Use provided by your pharmacist. If you have any questions, ask your healthcare provider.
• Clean and dry the infected toenail(s) before applying the medication. 
• Use the medication only on the infected toenail(s) as directed by your healthcare provider.
• Typically, Kerydin is applied once daily for a duration of 48 weeks. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding the duration of treatment.
• If you are applying the medication to a child, an adult should do it for them. 
• Use the provided dropper to apply the solution to the infected toenail(s). Slowly squeeze the bulb of the dropper to apply enough solution to completely cover the toenail.
• Use the dropper tip to gently spread the medication over the toenail, ensuring it reaches the edges and under the tip of the toenail.
• Repeat the steps for each affected toenail.
• After applying the solution, wait for about 2 minutes to allow it to dry completely before putting on socks, shoes, or other footwear.
• If the solution comes into contact with the skin around the toenail(s), use a tissue to wipe off any excess solution.
• Wash your hands with soap and water after applying the medication.
• Use Kerydin regularly at the same time each day to get the most benefit from it. 
• Continue using the medication for the full duration prescribed by your healthcare provider, even if symptoms improve or disappear after a few days.
