Pharmacology

Absorption
In low concentrations, the drug has keratoplastic activity (correction of abnormal keratinization) & in higher concentrations, the drug has keratolytic activity (causes peeling of skin). Keranil 6% softens & destroys the stratum corneum by increasing endogenous hydration (water concentration), probably because of decreased pH, which causes the cornified epithelium (horny layer of the skin) to swell, soften, & then desquamate.
Distribution
Moisture is essential for Keranil 6% to exert its action on the skin and for maceration and desquamation of epidermal tissue to occur.
Metabolism
The drug has weak antifungal & antibacterial activity.
