4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The nail lacquer should be applied to the affected finger or toe nails
once weekly.
The patient should apply the nail lacquer as follows:
1. Before the first application of Amorolfine 5% w/v Medicated Nail
Lacquer, it is essential that the affected areas of nail
(particularly the nail surfaces) should be filed down as thoroughly as
possible using the nail file supplied. The surface of the nail
should then be cleansed and degreased using an alcohol cleaning pad.
Before repeat application of Amorolfine 5% w/v
Medicated Nail Lacquer the affected nails should be filed down again
as required, following cleansing with a cleaning pad to
remove any remaining lacquer.
_Caution: _Nail files used for affected nails must not be used for
healthy nails.
2. With one of the reusable spatulas supplied, apply the nail lacquer
to the entire surface of the affected nails. Allow the nail
lacquer to dry for 3-5 minutes. After use, clean the spatula with the
same cleaning pad used before for nail cleaning. Keep the
bottle tightly closed.
For each nail to be treated, dip the spatula into the nail lacquer
without wiping off any of the lacquer on the bottle neck.
The required duration of treatment depends essentially on intensity
and localisation of the infection. In general, it is six months
(finger nails) and nine to twelve months (toe nails).
