Detailed instructions for AMOFIN 5% nail polish, 3 ml

Field of use

• The medicine is a drug (broad spectrum antimycotic) for the treatment of fungal diseases (mycoses) of the nails.
• The medicine is used for the treatment of nail fungus (caused by dermatophytes and yeast) if the nail is infested of up to 80 % (especially in the front area).

Mode of action

A fungal infection of the nails is common and persistent. Amofin nail polish is an efficient means to combat the infection directly on the nail and represents an alternative to taking prescription tablets. After the nail polish has been applied, the solvent and the antifungal (mushrooming agricultural) active ingredient amorolfin evaporates deeply into the nail. There is a highly concentrated depot of active ingredient, which prevents the fungal infection from progressing and enables the healthy nail to grow back. Over time, the affected nail grows and can be removed. Due to the active ingredient deposit, the nail polish only has to be applied once a week.
