Safely Buy Loceryl Nail Lacquer ( Amorolfine ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Loceryl Nail Lacquer is a medication used to treat fungal infections of the nails. It contains the active ingredient amorolfine, which is an antifungal agent.

The lacquer is applied directly to the infected nails and forms a waterproof film on the surface. This film helps to kill the fungal pathogens and clear the infection.

Loceryl Nail Lacquer is available as a topical treatment and can be used on both finger and toenails.

Please consult with a healthcare professional or refer to the patient information leaflet for more specific instructions and guidelines on the use of Loceryl Nail Lacquer.

Use and Dosage

Before applying Loceryl Nail Lacquer, it is important to carefully clean the affected nails using a nail file or other suitable instrument to remove any loose or damaged parts of the nail.

The recommended dosage for Loceryl Nail Lacquer is once a week and is typically applied to the entire surface of the infected nail(s) using the provided spatula.

• Allow the lacquer to dry for approximately 3 minutes.
• Repeat the process for each affected nail.
• Clean the spatula thoroughly after use to prevent contamination.

The duration of treatment with Loceryl Nail Lacquer may vary depending on the severity of the infection. In general, treatment should be continued until the infected nail has completely grown out and a healthy nail has replaced it. This may take several months.

Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or as detailed in the product’s packaging. If you have any specific questions or concerns about using Loceryl Nail Lacquer, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
