Abstract

An anti-fungal nail lacquer composition containing a film-forming agent, a solvent therefore, and an anti-fungal amount of griseofulvin which can be either in suspension or solution in the nail lacquer composition. A method of using the anti-fungal nail lacquer composition includes applying the composition to a finger or toenail and allowing the composition to remain in contact with the nail until the solvents evaporate and a thin film of griseofulvin remains on the nail.
