Abstract
The present invention relates to a composition for use in the treatment of onychomycosis and/or tinea pedis, the composition comprising a polymer capable of forming nanoparticles and terbinafine, or derivative or salt thereof, wherein the nanoparticles are formed with and/or in the presence of terbinafine, or derivative or salt thereof and wherein the composition is administered topically to provide a daily dose to an infected area in the range of about 5 μg to about 50 μg of terbinafine. The invention also relates to a combination of the composition and a liquid dispensing device for dispensing a pre-defined quantity of the composition to a user's toes and/or inter-digital spaces and/or front of the foot.
