Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Ciclopirox 8%/Urea 40% Nail Gel is a semisolid formulation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients in a gel-like consistency. This topical formulation is primarily used to treat a variety of nail diseases, including onychomycosis, tinea unguium, psoriasis, candidiasis, and paronychia.

The formulation is a combination of ciclopirox, an antifungal agent, and urea, a keratolytic agent. These two ingredients work synergistically to reduce inflammation, soften the nail plate, and inhibit the growth of fungi and bacteria. The gel is applied directly to the affected nail and surrounding skin once daily, ensuring that the active ingredients are delivered directly to the site of infection.

It is important to note that Ciclopirox 8%/Urea 40% Nail Gel should not be used on open wounds or broken skin. It is also crucial to follow the directions provided by your healthcare provider and to use the product for the full duration of treatment, even if symptoms improve. This is because the infection may not be completely eradicated and could potentially return if treatment is stopped prematurely.

Ciclopirox 8%/Urea 40% Nail Gel is an effective treatment for onychomycosis, tinea unguium, psoriasis, candidiasis, and paronychia. However, this formulation may not be suitable for everyone. It is important to discuss any potential risks or side effects with your healthcare provider before beginning treatment. This ensures that the treatment is safe and appropriate for your specific condition and health status.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

The Ciclopirox 8%/Urea 40% Nail Gel is a potent topical solution designed to combat a range of nail diseases such as onychomycosis, tinea unguium, psoriasis, candidiasis, and paronychia. This unique formulation combines the antifungal properties of Ciclopirox and the keratolytic effects of urea to provide a comprehensive treatment approach.

Ciclopirox functions by inhibiting the growth of fungi, effectively halting the progression of the infection. Urea, on the other hand, softens and breaks down the thickened nail plate, allowing for better penetration of the antifungal agent. This dual-action mechanism helps alleviate symptoms associated with these diseases, including discoloration, brittleness, and thickening of the nail.

For optimal results, patients are advised to apply the gel to the affected nail twice daily. Consistent use for a minimum of 6 months is recommended to ensure complete eradication of the infection. It is crucial to keep the treated area clean and dry, and to avoid contact with water for at least 1 hour post-application. The use of nail polish or other nail products should be avoided on the treated nail during the course of the treatment.

Healthcare providers prescribing Ciclopirox 8%/Urea 40% Nail Gel should be cognizant of potential interactions with other medications, including other antifungal agents, antibiotics, and corticosteroids. Regular monitoring of patients for any signs of adverse reactions such as skin irritation, redness, or itching is recommended.
