Introduction

Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer is a topical antifungal treatment designed to treat mild fungal nail infections in adults. It contains the active ingredient amorolfine, which belongs to a group of medicines known as antifungals. Curanail is suitable for mild infections that affect up to two nails without involving the base (lunula). It offers an easy and convenient solution for treating onychomycosis (fungal nail infections) at home without needing a prescription.

How It Works

Curanail works by penetrating the nail plate and eliminating the fungi that cause nail infections. Amorolfine alters the cell membrane of the fungus, disrupting its growth and killing the organism. The treatment is applied once a week directly to the infected nail. The lacquer dries to form a protective layer that continues working throughout the week, even after bathing or showering. Continued use ensures the antifungal agent stays active on and in the nail, promoting healthy nail regrowth over time.

Why Choose Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer

Curanail Nail Lacquer for fungal nail infections is a well-established and clinically effective treatment that eliminates the need for oral medication in mild cases. It’s especially beneficial for individuals who prefer a topical treatment or cannot tolerate systemic antifungals. With once-weekly application, Curanail offers a hassle-free routine that integrates easily into daily life. It’s a popular first-line treatment available without a prescription, providing effective relief and visible improvement when used consistently.

Curanail includes everything needed for treatment in the box: the medicated lacquer, cleaning swabs, and reusable applicators. With consistent use, improvement can be seen in as little as a few months, though full recovery depends on nail growth and severity.

Important Note

Curanail is only suitable for mild infections affecting up to two nails without affecting the base of the nail. Do not use it on broken or irritated skin. Not suitable for use by children. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Store below 25°C and keep out of reach of children. Seek advice from your pharmacist or GP if symptoms worsen or do not improve after 3 months.
