Urea Nail
Urea Nail is a topical medication used to treat thickened or damaged nails, particularly in conditions such as onychomycosis (fungal nail infections), psoriasis, or trauma to the nails. It contains urea, a keratolytic agent that works by softening and breaking down the thickened or hardened nail, allowing for easier trimming or removal. Urea Nail helps improve the appearance and health of the nail by promoting smoother and more manageable nail growth.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Urea Nail Work?
Urea Nail works by breaking down the keratin in thickened nails, which softens and thins the nail plate, making it easier to trim or treat. Urea also acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the nail and surrounding skin, which helps to hydrate and reduce brittleness. This dual action of exfoliating and moisturizing promotes healthier nail growth.
Common Dosages
- 20% urea
- 40% urea
The specific strength used depends on the severity of the nail condition.
Typical Dosing
- Apply a thin layer of Urea Nail to the affected nail(s) once or twice daily, as directed by your healthcare provider.
