Tavaborole, sold under the brand name Kerydin, is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the nail. It is used by applying it to the nail in question. Evidence supports its use in mild to moderate disease.

Side effects may include skin irritation and an ingrown toenail. It works by inhibits a enzyme, leucyl-tRNA synthetase, that is required for fungus to make protein.

Tavaborole was approved for medical use in the United States in 2014. In the United States 10 ml of solution costs about 1,600 USD as of 2021. It is also available in Canada but not in Europe as of 2018.
