Buy Amorolfine 5% Nail Lacquer For Fungal Nail Infections

Amorolfine 5% Nail Lacquer is a prescription treatment designed to treat fungal nail infections. It’s the generic version of the popular over the counter fungal treatment Curanail, and the branded prescription treatment Loceryl. The active ingredient is the same as that found in the alternatives - amorolfine hydrochloride.

You apply the treatment directly to your affected nail, similarly to how you’d apply nail polish. The amorolfine hydrochloride kills the fungus that causes the infection, and helps your nail grow healthier over time. As the infection clears, your nail slowly returns to its normal colour and thickness.

Because it’s a generic medication, it’s typically less expensive than the branded versions. If you’re after a cost effective way to treat fungal nail infections that’s just as good as the well-known brands, Amorolfine could be a great option. Start your quick and easy consultation with our licensed UK clinical team today.

About Amorolfine 5% Nail Lacquer

Amorolfine is a generic prescription medication that contains amorolfine hydrochloride. This antifungal ingredient kills the fungus that causes nail infections. You paint the treatment onto the infected nail, where it creates a protective layer. This helps stop the infection from spreading and allows your healthy nail to grow back.

This treatment is suitable for adults over 18, but some people should speak to their GP before starting treatment, such as if you have diabetes, a weak immune system, or poor circulation. This is because you may need extra monitoring while using Amorolfine if you have any of these conditions.

How Does Amorolfine Nail Lacquer Work?

Amorolfine works by stopping the production of something called ergosterol in the fungus. The fungus needs this chemical to grow and thrive. When the ergosterol isn’t there, the fungal cells break down, and as your healthy nail grows, the infected nail will grow out. As long as you keep using the treatment, the infection will clear over time.

How To Use Amorolfine

You should apply Amorolfine once or twice a week, depending on exactly what our clinical team will advise. You’ll have to prepare the nail before you start treatment, using the file provided. Never use this file on healthy nails, as you risk spreading the infection. Use one of the provided swabs to clean the nail surface.

Apply the product evenly to the infected nails. Let the treated nails dry for at least three minutes. Thoroughly clean the applicator with the same swab you used on your nails.

To get the best results, you need to use Amorolfine regularly until the infection has cleared and your healthy nails are back. This usually takes six months for fingernails and 9-12 months for toenails.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in Amorolfine is 50mg of amorolfine per 1ml of the product. This is the antifungal ingredient that works to treat the fungal infection. There are also other ingredients that help deliver the medication effectively. These include ammonio methacrylate copolymer A, triacetin, butyl acetate, ethyl acetate and ethanol.

Side Effects

As with all medications, side effects can occur. However, these are rare and most people use Amorolfine without issues. Side effects can include nail damage, nail discolouration, or fragile or brittle nails. One of the most common side effects is a burning sensation in the application area. If you experience side effects, it’s important to speak to our clinical team for advice.

Warnings

Amorolfine is not suitable for children under 18, or for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a doctor. If your nails are severely damaged, you shouldn’t use it either, unless a healthcare professional advises you to.

There are also certain conditions that may need special considerations or a different approach to treatment. These include diabetes, a weak immune system, or poor circulation. If you have these, speak to your prescribing clinician before using Amorolfine.

Please read all packaging and the Patient Information Leaflet contained within the product packaging before taking any new medicine and inform your doctor of medicines you are taking or intend to take.

Amorolfine 5% Nail Lacquer FAQs

How Long Does Amorolfine Take To Work?
Treatment for fungal nail infections takes many months. This is because Amorolfine treats the infection gradually, as your nail grows out. You should see some improvement after a few months, but it can take around six months for fingernails and 9-12 months for toenails to be fully clear of infection. This is because the infected part of your nail needs to grow out completely and be replaced by healthier nail.

While you may see your nail start to look better after a few months of regular use, it’s important to keep using the treatment regularly for the full course, or until your healthcare professional tells you to stop. Otherwise, the infection may not be fully resolved and could come back again.
Can I Use Nail Polish With Amorolfine Treatment?
Yes, you can use cosmetic nail polish while you’re using Amorolfine treatment. You’ll need to wait at least ten minutes after applying the treatment before you paint your nails with cosmetic polish. However, it’s important to make sure it’s completely removed before you apply the next lot of treatment. Fully remove the polish, file and clean the nail as advised. This helps the medication adhere to your nail properly and keeps the treatment working effectively.
How Much Amorolfine Do I Need For My Treatment?
You only need to use enough Amorolfine to evenly cover the surface of the nails. As a rough guide, for each three-month period, you’ll use between 1-2ml of Amorolfine per nail that you’re treating. But this varies depending on a few factors, including how often you’ve been advised to apply the treatment (once or twice weekly) and which nails you’re treating, as larger nails will need more product to cover them.
What Are The Signs Of A Fungal Nail Infection?
Fungal nail infections typically happen on your toenails, but you can get them on your fingernails too. You may notice that the nail looks different to normal - it might appear discoloured or thicker than it usually does. You may have white or yellow streaks along one side of the nail. The nail may become brittle or crumbly, and lift away from the nail bed. If you notice any of these signs, it could be a fungal nail infection that needs treatment.
Can I Use Amorolfine For Athlete's Foot?
Amorolfine is specifically for nail infections, whereas athlete’s foot impacts the skin. They are both caused by similar types of fungus, but athlete’s foot usually requires antifungal creams, sprays, or powders designed to treat the skin between the toes or on the soles of the foot. If you have both types of fungal infection, you may need two different types of treatment to tackle them.
Is Amorolfine The Same As Loceryl And Curanail?
Amorolfine is the generic equivalent to these branded treatments. This means that it contains the same active ingredient as Loceryl and Curanail - amorolfine hydrochloride. It works in the same way as the branded products to treat fungal nail infections.

Curanail is available over the counter, but it can only be used to treat a maximum of two infected nails. You can get a prescription to use Amorolfine for multiple nail infections. It’s often a more cost-effective option, while still offering the same results as the branded alternatives.
Can Fungal Nail Infections Spread To Other Nails?
Yes, fungal infections can spread between nails if you don’t treat them. You can also pass them to other people if you’re not really careful. Keep your feet clean and dry, don’t share nail tools or towels, and wear flip-flops in public changing areas.

Make sure that nobody else uses the nail file in your Amorolfine kit, otherwise they could contract the infection too. The best way to prevent fungal nail infections from spreading is to treat them as soon as you notice the issue. Using Amorolfine can reduce the risk of it spreading.
What Should I Do If There's No Improvement After Using Amorolfine?
You should seek further medical advice if the treatment doesn’t appear to be working after a few months of regular use. You’ll usually assess how well it’s working every three months. Your doctor can prescribe antifungal tablets if necessary. These can tackle the fungal infection from the inside out. You should also speak to your GP if the infection is spreading, getting worse, or causing pain, as this could mean a more serious issue.
How Do I Prevent Fungal Nail Infections Returning?
To stop fungal nail infections coming back, keep your nails clean, and dry, avoiding prolonged exposure to warm and damp conditions. You should change your socks daily, and make sure that your shoes are breathable, so your feet don’t sweat too much. If you do sweat in your shoes, let them fully dry before wearing them again, and disinfect them if needed. Another thing to consider is replacing old footwear that could be contaminated with fungal spores.

You should keep your nails well trimmed, but avoid sharing nail tools with friends or family, as this could enable fungal infections to spread. Keep an eye out for any recurrence of symptoms and act quickly to treat it.
