Apply the lacquer to the entire surface of the affected fingernails or toenails once or twice per week, following the specific schedule provided by a healthcare professional.
Before the first application, remove the affected nail area using the file provided. Clean the nail with an alcohol swab to degrease. Apply the lacquer and allow it to dry for several minutes.
Before each subsequent application, remove the previous lacquer layer with an alcohol swab, file away the damaged nail again, and apply a new layer.
Adverse Reactions
Local skin reactions at the application site may occur, including burning sensation, erythema, and pruritus.
Nail disorders such as discoloration or brittleness have been reported. These reactions are typically mild and transient.
Drug Interactions
No specific, clinically significant drug interactions with systemically administered medicinal products are known due to negligible systemic absorption.
Concomitant use with other topical nail preparations has not been formally studied; avoid applying other nail lacquers or topical agents directly over the treatment area.
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to amorolfine or to any of the excipients in the formulation.
- Pregnancy and the period of lactation due to the absence of sufficient safety data for use during these periods.
