Curanail Nail Fungus Treatment for Fungal Nail Infections

 

You can treat fungal nail infections effectively with Curanail 5% Medicated Nail Lacquer. This prescription-strength treatment contains amorolfine hydrochloride, which targets the fungi responsible for nail infections. The lacquer formulation allows the active ingredient to penetrate through your nail plate to reach the infection site beneath.

Fungal nail infections typically cause thickening, discolouration, and brittleness of your nails. Without treatment, these infections can persist for months or years and may spread to other nails. Curanail nail fungus treatment provides a targeted approach to eliminate the infection whilst allowing your healthy nail to grow back naturally.

 

How Amorolfine Hydrochloride Works Against Nail Fungi

 

The active ingredient amorolfine hydrochloride belongs to a group of antifungal medicines called morpholines. It works by disrupting the cell membrane of fungi, preventing them from maintaining their structure and ultimately causing their destruction. This mechanism specifically targets fungal cells without affecting your healthy nail tissue.

The lacquer formulation creates a protective film over your nail surface, allowing sustained release of the antifungal agent. This ensures continuous treatment between applications and helps prevent reinfection during the healing process.

 

Suitable for Most Adults with Fungal Nail Infections

 

Curanail is suitable for adults aged 18 years and over who have mild to moderate fungal nail infections. You can use this treatment if your infection affects up to two nails and covers no more than two-thirds of the nail surface. The treatment works on both fingernails and toenails affected by dermatophyte fungi.

This medicated nail lacquer is particularly suitable if you prefer a topical treatment over oral antifungal medicines. Many people find athletes foot and fungal infection treatments more convenient when applied directly to the affected area rather than taking systemic medication.

  • Suitable for infections affecting up to two nails
  • Effective when infection covers less than two-thirds of nail surface
  • Can be used on both fingernails and toenails
  • Appropriate for dermatophyte fungal infections

 

Why Choose a Lacquer Formulation for Nail Treatment

 

The lacquer formulation offers several advantages over other topical treatments. It forms a durable film that adheres well to your nail surface, providing extended contact time with the infected area. This sustained release helps maintain therapeutic levels of the antifungal agent between weekly applications.

Unlike creams or solutions that may wash off easily, the lacquer remains in place during normal daily activities including washing and bathing. This consistency of treatment is important for achieving successful clearance of fungal nail infections, which typically require several months of continuous therapy.

 

Clinical Suitability and Storage Requirements

 

Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of amorolfine lacquer in treating fungal nail infections when used as directed. The treatment typically requires 6-12 months of regular application, depending on the severity of your infection and nail growth rate. You should continue treatment until your nail appears completely normal and healthy nail has grown back.

Store Curanail at room temperature below 25°C and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. The treatment remains stable throughout its shelf life when stored correctly. Each 3ml bottle provides sufficient treatment for the recommended duration when applied to one or two affected nails.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

 

How to Apply Curanail Medicated Nail Lacquer

Apply Curanail once weekly to your affected nails. Before each application, file down the infected areas of your nail using the nail files provided in the pack. Clean your nail with one of the cleaning swabs to remove any residue or previous lacquer application. Allow your nail to dry completely before applying the new coat of lacquer.

Use the applicator brush to apply a thin, even layer of lacquer over the entire nail surface, including the underside of the free edge if accessible. Avoid contact with surrounding skin. Allow the lacquer to dry for approximately three minutes before putting on socks, shoes, or gloves.

Treatment Duration and Application Schedule

Continue weekly applications until your nail infection has completely cleared and healthy nail has grown back. This typically takes 6 months for fingernails and up to 12 months for toenails, depending on your nail growth rate and the extent of infection. Do not stop treatment early even if your nail appears to be improving, as this may lead to reinfection.

Clean the applicator brush with the cleaning swabs after each use and ensure the bottle cap is tightly closed. Replace the cap immediately after use to prevent the lacquer from drying out. Use a fresh nail file for each treatment session and dispose of used files and swabs appropriately.
