Description
Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer is a topical treatment for fungal nail infections, containing the active ingredient amorolfine. It penetrates the nail, targeting the fungus directly and preventing its growth. The lacquer forms a protective layer over the nail, ensuring prolonged contact with the medication. Improvement is typically seen within a few weeks, though full treatment can take up to 6 months for fingernails and 9-12 months for toenails.
The product includes a set of cleaning swabs, reusable applicators, and nail files to ensure proper treatment. Consistent weekly application is crucial for effective results.
How Does CuraNail Work?
Amorolfine, the active component in Curanail, destroys fungi and prevents new infections from spreading. The amorolfine enters through the nail and breaks down the fungus's outer membranes, resulting in leaking fungal cells that ultimately die. It is critical to ensure that before each week's application, you file down the infected nails using the nail files provided. Filing the nail allows for greater penetration of CuraNail into the nail.
