How it works

Amorolfine is an antifungal that inhibits ergosterol synthesis by blocking sterol enzymes (delta-14 reductase and delta-7–8 isomerase). This disrupts the fungal cell membrane, stopping growth and killing susceptible fungi in the nail.

Directions for use

For external use on nails only. File the affected nail surface, clean/degrease, then apply a thin layer of lacquer over the entire affected nail using the applicator. Allow to dry. Usually applied once or twice weekly as advised by the doctor; continue until healthy nail regrows (may take 6–12 months). Avoid washing the area for several hours after application and remove old lacquer before reapplying if instructed.
