{"product_id":"curanail","title":"Curanail","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmorolfine is a medicated nail lacquer that treats fungal nail infections. You paint it directly onto the infected nail once a week. The lacquer dries to form a film that holds the medicine against the nail surface, letting it soak through to the fungus underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmorolfine is best suited for mild to moderate infections that affect the upper half and edge of the nail. If the infection has spread across most of the nail or reached the root, you may need oral antifungal tablets instead. Our clinician can advise which route suits your case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a prescription-only medicine. Our clinician will check it's right for you before we dispense it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003c!-- How to use --\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow to use\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreat each infected nail once a week. Before applying, remove any old lacquer using one of the cleaning swabs provided. Then file down the infected area of the nail with the nail file from the pack. This roughens the surface and helps the lacquer soak in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDip the applicator into the bottle. Do not wipe off the excess on the rim. Apply the lacquer evenly over the entire nail surface. Let it dry for about 3 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the lacquer has dried, clean the applicator with the same swab you used on your nails. Do not touch the freshly treated nails with the swab. Close the bottle tightly. Throw the swab away carefully as it is flammable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce dry, the lacquer is not affected by soap and water. You can wash your hands and feet as normal. If you work with solvents like white spirit or paint thinner, wear waterproof gloves to protect the lacquer on your fingernails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can apply cosmetic nail varnish on top, but wait at least 10 minutes after the medicated lacquer has dried. Remove all nail varnish before your next weekly application. Do not use artificial nails while on treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you forget a week, do not worry. Apply it as soon as you remember and carry on with your weekly routine from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not stop using it until the infection has cleared and healthy nail has fully grown back. Stopping early lets the fungus come back and may cause it to become resistant to the treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- Main Ingredients --\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eMain Ingredients\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach millilitre of lacquer contains 50mg of amorolfine (as amorolfine hydrochloride). Amorolfine is a morpholine antifungal that blocks two enzymes the fungus needs to build its cell membrane. It is effective against dermatophytes, yeasts, and several types of mould.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther ingredients include ammonio methacrylate copolymer, triacetin, butyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and ethanol. The lacquer contains alcohol, which may cause a burning feeling if it touches broken or irritated skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- Side Effects \u0026 Cautions --\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eSide Effects \u0026amp; Cautions\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide effects are uncommon and usually limited to the nail and surrounding skin. Rare effects include nail discolouration, brittle or loose nails, and a burning sensation or redness around the nail (contact dermatitis).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerious allergic reactions are very rare. If your face, lips, tongue, or throat swell, or you develop difficulty breathing or a severe rash, stop using the lacquer, remove it with a cleaning swab, and get medical help straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not apply the lacquer to the skin around the nail. If it gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse well with water immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho should not use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not use amorolfine if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. It is not recommended for children under 18. If you have diabetes, poor circulation, or a weakened immune system, speak with our clinician first, as you may need a different treatment approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmorolfine is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

File down any thickened areas. Use a separate file and clippers for infected nails and do not share them. Treat any athlete's foot at the same time, as the skin infection often feeds the nail infection. Wear breathable shoes and clean cotton socks. Keep your feet dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- Patient Information Leaflet --\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003ePatient Information Leaflet\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmorolfine is not right for everyone, and there are things you should know before you start.
