Amorolfine 5% - Fungal Nail Treatment

Amorolfine is the generic equivalent to branded Loceryl and Curanail. It is an effective and affordable treatment against fungal nail infections. Fungus usually penetrates the nail and may infect the surrounding area. Amorolfine contains the active ingredient amorolfine, a drug that treats nail fungal infections. A chemical in fungus called ergosterol causes nail infections. Amorolfine works by stopping the production of ergosterol. Without the chemical, the fungus stops growing, and its cells break down. The nail continues to grow, removing the infectious part until it becomes healthy.

How does Amorolfine work?

Amorolfine works by inhibiting the production of ergosterol, which is essential for fungal cell membranes, causing the fungus to die.

How should I apply Amorolfine?

Apply the nail lacquer to infected nails once or twice a week after filing and cleaning the nail surface.

Are there any side effects of Amorolfine?

Common side effects include a burning sensation and itchiness at the application site.

Can Amorolfine be used on both fingernails and toenails?

Yes, Amorolfine can be applied to both fingernails and toenails affected by fungal infections.

Can I use nail polish while using Amorolfine?

Avoid using cosmetic nail polish or artificial nails during treatment to ensure effectiveness.

How long does it take to see results with Amorolfine?

Treatment duration can vary, but it may take several months for the nail to become completely healthy.
