About Tavaborole and its cost

What is this medication? Tavaborole is a prescription antifungal medication specifically used to treat fungal infections of the toenails, a condition clinically referred to as onychomycosis. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as oxaborole antifungals and is most commonly sold under the brand name Kerydin. It functions by blocking a specific enzyme called leucyl-tRNA synthetase, which the fungus requires to synthesize proteins. By preventing protein production, the medication stops the growth of the fungus and allows the nail to eventually grow back clear and healthy. The treatment is applied topically as a clear solution to the affected toenails once daily for a period of forty-eight weeks. Because toenails grow slowly, it takes a significant amount of time for the infected nail to be replaced by new growth. Patients are advised to apply the solution to the entire nail surface and under the tip of the nail. While the medication is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience minor side effects such as skin peeling, redness, or irritation around the area where the solution is applied.

Tavaborole is made by Pfizer. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford Tavaborole?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for Tavaborole?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Pfizer has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Tavaborole?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Nail Fungus?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
