Abstract
Antifungal nail coat compositions containing an allylamine, an N,N-di(C1-C8) alkylamino substituted, (C4-C18) alkyl (C2-C18) carboxylic ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, a hydrophilic polymer, and a pharmaceutically acceptable, volatile organic carrier are disclosed. The composition provides a substantially water-soluble, fungicidal coating upon contact with a fungally susceptible or infected nail.
