Fungal Nail Treatment
Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer contains the antifungal medicine amorolfine hydrochloride, which is used to treat mild to moderate fungal infections of the nails. It works by killing the fungus and preventing it from spreading, allowing a healthy nail to grow back.
Curanail is suitable for use on up to two infected nails at a time and can be used on both fingernails and toenails. It is applied once a week, making it a convenient treatment for nail fungus.
This treatment is not suitable if the infection affects the base of the nail, or if you have more than two affected nails — in these cases, you should seek medical advice.
Select Generic Or Branded
Curanail contains amorolfine hydrochloride 5% w/v, an antifungal agent that works by damaging the fungal cell membrane, leading to the death of the fungus. Over time, as the nail grows, the infected area is replaced by healthy nail tissue.
Treatment may need to continue for 6 months for fingernails or 9 to 12 months for toenails. It’s important to use the lacquer consistently once a week until the infection has cleared.
Avoid using cosmetic nail varnish or artificial nails during treatment, as they can prevent the medicine from working effectively. If you have diabetes, poor circulation, or a weakened immune system, seek medical advice before use.
Curanail is for external use only and should not be applied to the skin or eyes. If symptoms do not improve after 3 months, or if the infection worsens, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
What is Curanail used for?
Curanail is an antifungal nail lacquer used to treat mild to moderate fungal infections of the fingernails or toenails. It works directly on the nail to kill the fungus and stop it from spreading.
How does Curanail work?
The active ingredient, amorolfine, belongs to a group of medicines known as antifungals. It destroys the fungal cell membrane, which clears the infection over time as the healthy nail grows out.
How often should I use Curanail?
Curanail is usually applied once a week to the affected nail or nails. It’s important to continue using it regularly until the infection has cleared and a new, healthy nail has fully grown.
How long does treatment take?
Fingernail infections generally take about 6 months to clear, while toenail infections may take up to 9 to 12 months. Continue treatment for the full duration, even if you see improvement earlier.
Can I use nail polish while using Curanail?
No. You should not use cosmetic nail polish or artificial nails during treatment, as they can stop the antifungal medicine from working effectively.
What should I do before applying Curanail?
Before applying, file down the infected nail (especially on the affected areas), clean and dry it thoroughly. Use the provided reusable applicator to apply a thin layer of the lacquer over the entire surface of the nail.
Can I use Curanail on skin infections or athlete’s foot?
No. Curanail is designed for nail infections only. For fungal infections of the skin, speak to your pharmacist about a suitable antifungal cream or spray.
Can I use Curanail if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using Curanail. Limited data are available on its safety in these situations.
What should I do if I miss an application?
Apply the lacquer as soon as you remember, then continue with your usual weekly schedule. Do not apply extra to make up for a missed dose.
When should I stop using Curanail?
Continue using Curanail until the infected part of the nail has grown out and a healthy nail has replaced it. If there is no improvement after 3 months, or if the infection appears to be spreading, seek medical advice.
