How to use
Use Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer exactly as directed by your pharmacist, prescriber or the patient information leaflet supplied with the product.
The treatment schedule for fungal nail infection is: Usually once weekly. Do not change the dose, frequency or duration unless advised by a clinician.
Prepare the affected nail as instructed, apply the lacquer over the full nail surface and continue regularly until healthy nail has grown through. Treatment of toenails commonly takes many months.
Best suited to suitable mild or limited infection. The nail should be filed and cleaned as directed before application. Nail infection involving the matrix, several nails, severe nail damage or treatment failure may require oral therapy or further assessment.
If symptoms of fungal nail infection worsen, do not respond as expected or you develop a serious reaction, stop and seek appropriate clinical advice.
