The invention claimed is: 1. A sustained release therapeutic nail varnish for treating a human for a fungal infection, onychomycoses, psoriasis and/or chronic paronycia of the nail and/or surrounding tissue, comprising: a. an antifungal amount of naftifine or terbinafine; b. a keratolytic agent; c.
The invention claimed is: 1. A sustained release therapeutic nail varnish for treating a human for a fungal infection, onychomycoses, psoriasis and/or chronic paronycia of the nail and/or surrounding tissue, comprising: a. an antifungal amount of naftifine or terbinafine; b. a keratolytic agent; c. at least about 3% of a humectant wherein the humectant is sorbitol, glycerol, or a mixture thereof; d. water in an amount of 0.5 to less than about 5% of the varnish solution; e. a hydrophobic methacrylic polymer in an amount of about 8% to about 35% based on the total weight of the non-volatile components; and f. a volatile solvent selected from the group consisting of an alcohol, a ketone, and mixtures thereof in an amount of about 60% to about 90%, relative to the total weight of the composition; wherein the weight ratio of polymer to the antifungal agent is in the range from about 1:0.01 to about 1:0.3, and the weight ratio of polymer to the karatolytic agent is in the range from about 1:0.01 to about 1:1. 2. The sustained release therapeutic nail varnish of claim 1 wherein the antifungal is terbinafine. 3. The sustained release therapeutic nail varnish of claim 1 comprising from about 0.1 to about 2% terbinafine. 4. The sustained release therapeutic nail varnish of claim 3 comprising about 1% terbinafine. 5. The sustained release therapeutic nail varnish of claim 1 wherein the volatile solvent is a mixture of ethanol and acetone. 6. The sustained release therapeutic nail varnish of claim 1 wherein the humectant is glycerol. 7. The sustained release therapeutic nail varnish of claim 1 wherein the keratolytic agent is urea. 8. The sustained release therapeutic nail varnish of claim 1 further comprising a plasticizer. 9. The nail varnish of claim 8, wherein said plasticizer is selected from the group consisting of dibutyl sebacate, diethyl phthalate, lanolin alcohols, mineral oil, petrolatum, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, triacetin, triethyl citrate, and mixtures thereof. 10. The sustained release therapeutic nail varnish composition of claim 1 further comprising excipients. 11. A method of treating a human for a fungal infection of the nail by applying the sustained release therapeutic nail varnish of claim 1. 12. The sustained release therapeutic nail varnish of claim 1 further comprising a second active ingredient. 13. The sustained release therapeutic nail varnish of claim 12 wherein the second active ingredient is clobetasol. 14. The varnish of claim 12 containing from about 0.1% to about 10% clobetasol (w/w). 15. A sustained release therapeutic nail varnish for treating a human for a fungal infection, onychomycoses, psoriasis and/or chronic paronycia of the nail and/or surrounding tissue, comprising: a. a pharmaceutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical ingredient; b. a keratolytic agent; c. at least about 3% of a humectant wherein the humectant is sorbitol, glycerol or a mixture thereof; d. d. water in an amount of 0.5 to less than about 5% of the varnish solution; e. a hydrophobic methacrylic polymer in an amount of about 8% to about 35% based on the total weight of the non-volatile components; and f. a volatile solvent selected from the group consisting of an alcohol, a ketone, and mixtures thereof in an amount of about 60% to about 90%, relative to the total weight of the composition; wherein the weight ratio of the polymer to the pharmaceutical ingredient is in the range from about 1:0.006 to about 1:0.3 and the weight ratio of polymer to the keratolytic agent is in the range from about 1:0.01 to about 1:1. 16. The sustained release therapeutic nail varnish of claim 15 wherein the pharmaceutical ingredient is clobetasol. 17. A method of treating a human for a fungal infection, onychomycoses, psoriasis and/or chronic paronychia of the nail and/or surrounding tissue, comprising topically applying to the surface of a nail, a nail varnish comprising: a. a pharmaceutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical ingredient; b. a ketatolytic agent; c. at least about 3% of a humectant wherein the humectant is sorbitol, glycerol, or a mixture thereof; d. water in a amount of 0.5 to less than about 5% of the varnish solution; e. a hydrophobic methacrylic polymer in an amount of about 8% to about 35% based on the total weight of the non-volatile components; and f. a volatile solvent selected from the group consisting of an alcohol, a ketone, and mixtures thereof in an amount of about 60% to about 90%, relative to the total weight of the composition; wherein the weight ratio of the polymer to the pharmaceutical ingredient is in the range from about 1:0.006 to about 1:0.3 and the weight ratio of polymer to the keratolytic agent is in the range from about 1:0.01 to about 1:1. 18. The method of claim 17 wherein the pharmaceutical ingredient is clobetasol. 19. The method of claim 17 wherein the disease is selected from the group consisting of onychomycoses, psoriasis and chronic paronycia. 20. The sustained release therapeutic nail varnish of claim 1, comprising from about 3% to about 15% of a humectant wherein the humectant is sorbitol, glycerol, or a mixture thereof. 21. The sustained release therapeutic nail varnish of claim 15 wherein the pharmaceutical ingredient is an antibacterial agent and the weight ratio of the polymer to the antibacterial agent is in the range of about 1:0.01 to about 1:0.3. 22.
