  • What is Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer?
    Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer is an antifungal treatment specifically formulated to treat fungal infections of the nails. It contains amorolfine, an active ingredient that targets the fungi causing the infection, helping to restore the health of the nail over time. This easy-to-apply lacquer penetrates the nail, providing long-lasting protection and ensuring the infection is treated effectively.

    How does Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer work?
    Curanail works by preventing the growth of fungi that cause infections in the nails. The active ingredient, amorolfine, disrupts the production of ergosterol, a substance fungi need to survive. As a result, the fungus is weakened and eliminated. The lacquer forms a protective barrier on the nail, allowing the active ingredient to penetrate deeply and work continuously to clear the infection.

    • Clean and file the infected nail(s) to remove any loose parts.
    • Apply Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer once a week to the affected nail using the applicator provided.
    • Allow the lacquer to dry completely (around 3-5 minutes).
    • Repeat application once per week until the infection has cleared (this may take up to 6 months for fingernails and 9-12 months for toenails).
    • Wash hands after use and clean the applicator with the same wipe used for cleaning nails.
  • Possible side effects include:

    • Mild burning sensation at the application site
    • Redness or itching around the treated nail
    • Rarely, nails may become brittle or discolored
    • In case of an allergic reaction, discontinue use and seek medical advice
