ABSTRACT:
A nail-permeable medication means is disclosed for delivering a medicament through nails, claws, hoofs, or other similar hardened tissue of dermal derivation. The nail-permeable medication means includes a proteolytic enzyme component which facilitates permeation of substances through the hardened nail or keratin tissue, and also includes a medicament component selected to treat a specific disease. The nail-permeable medication means is particularly useful for treating onychomycosis of the fingernail or toenail, and avoids the need for more drastic therapeutic modalities, such as removal of the nail.
