What is Amorolfine Nail Lacquer?

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.

What is Amorolfine Nail Lacquer used for?

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.

How does Amorolfine Nail Lacquer work?

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.

Who is Amorolfine Nail Lacquer suitable for?

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:

  • Individuals allergic to amorolfine or any other ingredients in the lacquer
  • People with severe nail damage or infection affecting more than two-thirds of the nail
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women, unless advised by a doctor
  • Children under the age of 12

How to apply Amorolfine Nail Lacquer

Follow these steps to apply Amorolfine Nail Lacquer:

  1. File the infected areas of the nail, including the nail surface, as much as possible using a nail file.
  2. Clean the nail surface with an alcohol swab or a suitable cleaning pad.
  3. Dip the applicator into the bottle of lacquer. Do not wipe it on the bottle’s neck.
  4. Apply the lacquer evenly over the entire surface of the infected nail.
  5. Allow the lacquer to dry for approximately 3-5 minutes.
  6. Clean the applicator with an alcohol swab after each use.

Apply Amorolfine Nail Lacquer once or twice a week, as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Consistent application is crucial for effective treatment.

Continue using Amorolfine Nail Lacquer until the infected nail has completely grown out and healthy nail has replaced it. This process can take 6 to 12 months, depending on the severity of the infection and the growth rate of your nails.
