Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Ketoconazole 2%/DMSO Nail Solution is a potent topical formulation specifically designed to combat a wide range of fungal nail infections. This includes conditions such as onychomycosis, tinea unguium, candidiasis, dermatophytosis, and paronychia. The solution is engineered to permeate the nail plate, delivering the active ingredient, ketoconazole, directly to the infection site. This targeted approach ensures that the medication is applied where it is most needed, enhancing its effectiveness.

The inclusion of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the formulation serves to augment the absorption of ketoconazole. This synergistic combination allows for a more potent treatment, ensuring that the medication penetrates deeply into the nail to reach the root of the infection. This results in a more comprehensive treatment, addressing the infection at its source and preventing its recurrence.

Ketoconazole 2%/DMSO Nail Solution is user-friendly and can be applied directly to the affected nail(s) twice daily. However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used on nails that are damaged or broken, as it may cause irritation. It is also essential to maintain the affected area clean and dry to prevent further infection. This not only aids in the healing process but also helps to prevent the spread of the infection to other nails.

As an effective treatment for fungal nail infections, Ketoconazole 2%/DMSO Nail Solution can help to alleviate symptoms, improve the overall health of the nail, and enhance its appearance. This formulation is a powerful tool in promoting healthy nail growth and combating fungal infections.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Ketoconazole 2%/DMSO Nail Solution is a specialized liquid formulation designed for direct application to the nails. It is primarily used to treat a variety of nail fungal infections, including onychomycosis, tinea unguium, candidiasis, dermatophytosis, and paronychia. The solution is applied directly to the affected nail and the skin surrounding it, but it should not be applied to the cuticle or the nail bed.

The solution is typically applied twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening, for a period of up to 12 weeks. It is crucial to continue using the solution even if symptoms appear to improve, as the fungal infection may not be completely eradicated. The solution works by delivering the antifungal medication, Ketoconazole, directly to the nail. Ketoconazole functions by inhibiting the growth of fungi, thereby treating the infection.

DMSO, a solvent included in the solution, aids in the penetration of Ketoconazole into the nail and surrounding skin, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment. The combined action of these two components works to effectively treat the fungal infection, promote healthy nail growth, and improve the overall appearance of the nail.

It is important to note that this solution is not recommended for use on children under the age of 12. If you have any questions or concerns about using this formulation, it is advised to seek professional medical advice.
