1. What is Curanail?

\Curanail is a once weekly treatment applied directly to the nail surface to treat mild fungal nail infections. It contains the active ingredient Amorolfine 5%, which is an antifungal.

2. How does it work?

Curanail works by killing fungi and yeasts on the nail by disrupting their cell membranes, preventing them from producing more cells and killing the already existing ones.

3. How do I use Curanail?

• 1. File down the infected area of nail making sure to keep other nails covered to stop infection spreading.
• 2. Clean the nail surface with a cleansing swab (use the swab to later clean the applicator).
• 3. Apply lacquer over the nail with an applicator and allow to dry.

4. Why can't I use Curanail on more than 2 nails?

If the infection has spread to more than 2 nails you need to see your doctor as the infection may require a stronger treatment.

5. How long does it take to work?

Nails should be treated once a week for 6 months for finger nails and 9-12 months for toe nails. Remember that nails grow slowly so it may take a couple of months before you start to see results. Make sure that treatment continues until ALL of the infected nail has grown out.

6. How long does one pack last?

In each pack you get one bottle of lacquer, 30 swabs, 30 nail files and 10 applicators which is roughly 3 months supply.
