Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer is a once weekly treatment for mild fungal nail infections - for up to two nails. Each Curanail pack contains:
* 3ml bottle (approximately 3 months' supply) of lacquer
* Cleansing swabs
* Reusable applicators
* Nail files
Curanail contains the active ingredient amorolfine, an effective antifungal agent previously only available on prescription. Curanail kills a wide range of different fungi that can cause nail infections. This means that, for the majority of sufferers, Curanail can actually cure the infection. In addition, Curanail comes in the form of a nail lacquer (like a nail varnish), which only needs to be applied once a week. This combination of effectiveness and convenience makes Curanail a first choice over the counter treatment for mild fungal nail infection.
How effective is it?
Amorolfine nail lacquer is an effective treatment that has been shown to clear 85% of fungal infections of the fingernails and 76% of toenail infections (defined as clinical cure plus improvement) with 6 months treatment. Treatment for a fingernail infection is expected to take 6 months (the time for a new nail to re-grow) and about 9-12 months for an infection of the toenail.
Who cannot use Curanail?
Curanail should NOT be used by:
those aged under 18
women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
anyone who has ever suffered an allergic reaction to amorolfine or any of the other ingredients in Curanail
those with severe nail infections
those with an infection affecting more than two nails
If these apply to you, you should see a doctor or podiatrist. People with diabetes, a weak immune system or poor blood circulation should check with their doctor or pharmacist before using Curanail.
