This unique solution combines the antifungal properties of ketoconazole with the solvent capabilities of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to provide targeted treatment for various nail conditions.

This solution is primarily used to treat fungal infections of the nails, including onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the nail, and tinea unguium, a fungal infection of the nail bed. It can also be used to address other fungal infections of the skin and nails. By delivering medication directly to the affected area, it promotes healthy nail growth and improves the overall appearance of the nails.

Application of the Ketoconazole 6%/DMSO Nail Solution is straightforward. It should be applied directly to the affected nail and surrounding skin, typically twice daily for a period of up to 12 weeks. The solution should be applied using a cotton swab or applicator and allowed to dry before covering with a bandage. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes during application.

While Ketoconazole 6%/DMSO Nail Solution is a safe and effective treatment for fungal infections of the nails, it is important to note that it may take several weeks to see an improvement in symptoms.
