Amorolfine AL 5% nail polish containing active ingredients AMOROLFINE AL 5% for nail fungus • With proven active ingredient Amorolfine • 1x weekly • For external use For nail fungus infections

Nail fungus is a common infectious disease. Toenails in particular are most commonly affected. Those affected suffer from the unaesthetic nails and feel restricted in everyday life and in their leisure activities. Nail fungus does not heal on its own. Treatment is therefore essential. The greatest possible effect is achieved when the first signs of a nail change are visible and the therapy is started early. Fungal infections of the nails are very stubborn. Consistent treatment with, for example, AMOROLFINE AL 5% can free the affected toenails from nail fungus.

Has an antifungal effect
The active ingredient amorolfine belongs to the group of antifungals (agents against fungal diseases). Amorolfine penetrates the nail deep into the nail bed. There, the active ingredient unfolds its antifungal (antimycotic) effect. The effect lasts for a long time and the nail fungus is effectively combated. The affected nail may become detached during treatment with amorolfine.
