Curanail 5% Fungal Nail Lacquer for Nail Fungus Treatment

 

You can treat fungal nail infections effectively with this medicated nail lacquer containing 5% amorolfine hydrochloride. This topical antifungal treatment penetrates through your nail plate to reach the infection site beneath, targeting the fungi that cause nail discolouration, thickening, and brittleness.

The lacquer forms a protective film over your affected nail, creating a barrier that prevents moisture loss whilst delivering the active ingredient directly to the infected area. This targeted approach helps restore your nail's natural appearance and health over time with consistent application.

 

How This Antifungal Lacquer Works

 

The active ingredient amorolfine hydrochloride belongs to a group of medicines called antifungals. It works by disrupting the cell membrane of fungi, preventing them from growing and reproducing in your nail tissue.

When you apply the lacquer to your affected nail, it dries to form a water-resistant film that remains active for several days. This sustained release ensures continuous antifungal action between applications, helping to eliminate the infection gradually whilst protecting your nail from reinfection.

 

Who Can Use This Nail Fungus Treatment

 

This treatment is suitable for adults and children over 12 years who have mild to moderate fungal nail infections affecting up to two nails. You should see your doctor if you have diabetes, circulation problems, or a weakened immune system before starting treatment.

The lacquer is particularly effective for infections that affect:

• The outer edges or tip of your nail
• Less than half of your nail surface
• Nails that show early signs of fungal infection
• Fingernails or toenails with mild discolouration

Why Choose This Medicated Nail Lacquer

 

This treatment offers a convenient once-weekly application schedule, making it easier to maintain your treatment routine compared to daily applications. The lacquer's formulation allows it to penetrate your nail effectively whilst remaining flexible as your nail grows.

The treatment typically shows visible improvement within 6 months for fingernails and up to 12 months for toenails, depending on the severity of your infection and how quickly your nails grow. Regular use as directed helps prevent the spread of infection to other nails.

 

Clinical Suitability and Storage Requirements

 

You should store this medicine below 25°C in its original container, keeping it away from heat sources and direct sunlight. The lacquer remains effective for up to 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly.

Before starting treatment, ensure your nail is clean and dry, and remove any existing nail polish or artificial nails. You can continue to use nail polish over the lacquer once it has dried completely, though this may reduce its effectiveness.
