What is Amorolfine used to treat?

Amorolfine is a medication for adults over the age of 18 who are suffering from a fungal nail infection.

You can use this medicine on infections of either the fingernail or toenail.

It is very important that you continue to use it until your fungal nail infection has cleared. For fingernails, this normally takes around 6 months; for toenails, it is normally around 9 to 12 months. Your doctor will likely check the infected nails every 3 months or so, to see how the treatment is progressing.

Why is Amorolfine recommended for treating fungal nail infections?

Amorolfine is the first-line treatment option for a variety of fungal nail infections and has shown a 90% success rate at clearing or reducing the infections.

Clinical studies have shown that Amorolfine is an effective treatment for fungal nail infections of the toe and fingernails. 

It is also well-tolerated, meaning you are at low risk of side effects while using Amorolfine 5% nail lacquer. 

How does Amorolfine work?

Amorolfine works by stopping the production of ergosterol, which is a chemical in fungus that causes nail infections to occur. When ergosterol is not being produced, the fungus's cells break down and the fungus can no longer continue to grow. The infection will clear as your nail grows out, and eventually, only healthy new nail will remain.
