How it works

How Amorolfine works

Amorolfine is a potent antifungal. It eliminates fungal cells by disrupting their cellular structure. Applied as a lacquer to the nail, it works locally on the infection.

  1. Online consultation

    Tell us about your nail symptoms, how long they have been present, previous antifungal treatments and any allergies.

  2. Clinical review

    A UK-registered clinician checks whether amorolfine nail lacquer is appropriate and safe for you.

  3. If suitable, we dispense

    Approved treatment is dispensed by our pharmacy and delivered discreetly, with clear directions for use.

  4. Apply as directed

    Use the lacquer on affected nails only, follow the leaflet, and continue until the nail has grown out healthy.

Using treatment

How to use Amorolfine 5% medicated lacquer

For topical use on nails only. Avoid contact with the eyes, ears and mucous membranes. Apply once a week or as prescribed. Continue until the nail has fully healed. Review every three months; see your GP if there is no improvement.

  1. File the affected nail

    Use the nail file in the pack to gently file down the surface of the affected nail(s). Do not share the file or use it on healthy nails.

  2. Clean the nail

    Clean the nail surface with the provided swab. For later applications, clean again so old lacquer is removed before reapplying.

  3. Apply the lacquer

    Using the reusable spatula, apply lacquer evenly over the whole affected nail surface. Do not tap the spatula on the bottle. Allow the nail to dry fully, then clean the spatula with a swab for reuse.

  4. Keep going and protect the nail

    Apply once a week or as prescribed until healed (often up to 6 months for fingernails, up to 9 months for toenails). Do not use nail polish or artificial nails. Wear protective gloves when handling organic solvents or when removing the lacquer.
