Question
Is oral Fluconazole effective in treating pediatric Onychomycosis?If so,in what dosage and schedule?
Answer
There is relatively little experience with the use of fluconazole in children with Onychomycosis (Aihara et al. 1996, Assaf et al. 1996, Gupta et al. 1997a). Intermittent dosing (3-6 mg/kg, one dose per week) is the most common regimen used for fluconazole, with 26 weeks for toenails and 12 weeks for fingernails.
