Deposition of Terbinafine After Iontophoretic Application of ETS Terbinafine Gel in Subjects With Distal Subungual Onychomycosis in the Great Toenail

The purpose of this study is to determine how much terbinafine is delivered to the nail bed after treatment with a number of modifications to a previously studied method for iontophoretic delivery of terbinafine gel. Iontophoretic delivery involves the use of a small electric charge to deliver drug across skin and nails.
