Amorolfine Nail Lacquer is a topical antifungal medication designed to treat fungal infections of the nails. It comes in the form of a lacquer, which you apply directly to the affected nails. This medication helps eliminate the fungus and restore the health of your nails.
Amorolfine Nail Lacquer treats fungal infections of the nails, also known as onychomycosis. These infections can cause nails to become discoloured, thickened, and brittle. By applying the lacquer, you can target the fungus directly and help your nails return to their normal state.
In addition to treating fungal nail infections, doctors may sometimes recommend Amorolfine Nail Lacquer for other fungal conditions affecting the nails. However, its primary use remains the treatment of onychomycosis.
Amorolfine Nail Lacquer works by inhibiting the growth of fungi. The active ingredient, amorolfine, interferes with the production of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. Without ergosterol, the fungal cells cannot maintain their structure and function, leading to their death. By applying the lacquer to the affected nails, you deliver the medication directly to the site of infection, ensuring effective treatment.
Amorolfine Nail Lacquer is suitable for adults and children over the age of 12 who have fungal infections of the nails. It provides an effective treatment option for those looking to eliminate the infection and restore the health of their nails.
However, Amorolfine Nail Lacquer may not be suitable for everyone. People with certain conditions or circumstances should avoid using this medication:
