Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Ketoconazole 2%/Urea/DMSO Nail Suspension is a specially compounded liquid formulation designed for direct application to the nails. This unique combination of active ingredients - ketoconazole, urea, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) - is specifically targeted to treat fungal infections of the nails. Ketoconazole acts as an antifungal agent, inhibiting the growth of the fungus responsible for the infection. Urea and DMSO, on the other hand, work synergistically to soften the nail and enhance the penetration of the medication into the nail bed, ensuring a more effective treatment.

Not only does this formulation offer a potent treatment for fungal nail infections, but it also promotes healthy nail growth and improves the overall appearance of the nails. It provides a cosmetic finish, which can significantly enhance patient satisfaction and adherence to treatment. The formulation is designed to be used twice daily for up to 12 weeks, or as directed by a healthcare provider.

Patients using this formulation should apply it directly to the affected nail and surrounding skin, ensuring the area is kept clean and dry. It is crucial to avoid contact with other people's skin or nails during treatment to prevent the spread of the infection. Regular follow-ups with the healthcare provider are recommended to monitor the progress of the treatment and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.

For healthcare providers, Ketoconazole 2%/Urea/DMSO Nail Suspension offers an effective and targeted treatment option for patients suffering from fungal nail infections. If you have any queries regarding this formulation or its usage, please feel free to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to providing comprehensive information and support to ensure the best possible patient outcomes.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Ketoconazole 2%/Urea/DMSO Nail Suspension is a liquid formulation specifically designed for topical application to the nails. It is primarily used for the treatment of onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the nail, and tinea pedis, commonly known as athlete’s foot. The active ingredient, Ketoconazole, is an antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the growth of fungi. The other components, Urea and DMSO, act as keratolytic agents that soften the nail plate and reduce the thickness of the nail, thereby facilitating the penetration of the antifungal agent.

This formulation is not recommended for use in children under the age of 12. Patients are advised to apply the suspension to the affected area twice daily and to continue treatment for at least two weeks after the infection has cleared. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes and to wash hands thoroughly after application. Regular monitoring for signs of skin irritation or sensitivity is recommended. In case of any adverse reactions, patients should discontinue use immediately and contact their healthcare provider.

Patients are also advised to avoid using other topical medications on the same area as this formulation to prevent potential interactions or adverse reactions. This formulation not only treats the infection but also promotes healthy nail growth and improves the appearance of the nails, offering a cosmetic finish alongside its therapeutic benefits.
