Efinaconazole is an azole antifungal medication that belongs to the triazole class of drugs. Specifically, it is a triazole derivative and works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, which is an important component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption of the fungal cell membrane leads to the death of the fungus, making efinaconazole an effective treatment for certain types of fungal infections.
