Instructions for use for AMOROLFIN-ratiopharm 5% nail varnish containing active substance, 5 ml

Directions for use of the article Amorolfin ratiopharm 5% for nail fungus: Amorolfin-ratiopharm® 5% is a nail varnish for the treatment of fungal nail infections caused by dermatophytes and yeasts. The nail varnish can be used for infestations of up to 80% of the nail surface. Before treatment with Amorolfin-ratiopharm® 5% begins, the affected nail areas should be filed down and cleaned with the nail file provided. The nail varnish is then applied evenly to the affected nails and must dry for about 5 minutes. Amorolfin-ratiopharm® 5% should be applied once or twice a week for a period of 6 to 7 months until the infected nail has grown out completely. It is important to continue using the nail polish until the infection has cleared and healthy nails have grown back. Amorolfin-ratiopharm® 5% is generally well tolerated, but rare cases of nail changes (discolouration, brittle or broken nails) may occur. Very rarely, there may be a slight, temporary burning sensation in the area around the treated nail. Serious allergic reactions such as swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, as well as breathing problems and/or a severe skin rash have also been reported. Amorolfin-ratiopharm® 5% should not be used if there is hypersensitivity to amorolfine or any of the other ingredients of the medicine. The package leaflet contains further important information on the use, storage and side effects of Amorolfin-ratiopharm® 5%. If any side effects occur, a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted.
