| Abstract: | ABSTRACT: Nails of mammals are specialized epidermal derivatives which protect the delicate tip of fingers and toes against trauma and act as tools or weapons. Fungal infections of the nails or onychomycosis accounts for about 50% of the nail diseases. Oral antifungal drugs and topical creams and lotions are used for treating fungal nail infections. The disadvantages of oral antifungal agents are toxicity and longer treatment period and topical preparation may get wiped off causing less absorption of drug into nails. Medicated nail lacquers have been developed and are used for the treatment of fungal nail infections i.e. onychomycosis, which has shorter treatment period and less toxicity. Amorolfine and ciclopirox are used as antifungal agents in nail lacquers. Long-term use of antifungal drug has side effects. Many of the herbs used today have been valued for their antimicrobial and antifungal effects. The main objective of the paper is to study the herbs having antifungal properties and that can be used in antifungal nail lacquers as active ingredients for treatment of onychomycosis. |
