The paper gives the data of an investigation of the efficacy of the nail lacquer (amorolfine 5% – Exorolfinlac) in the treatment and prevention of onychomycosis. It presents an algorithm to choose a topical agent with regard to the etiology and clinical features of onychomycosis. The important advantage of Exorolfinlac is that the agent can be used for the primary and secondary prevention of onychomycosis.
