Curanail fungal nail treatment is a medication used once weekly to treat fungal nail infections (onychomycosis). An infection can cause your nails to become thick and colourless, and in some cases can cause mild pain or discomfort. Curanail works to kill the fungi that causes this infection, allowing for the healthy nail to grow back.
This treatment is very effective when used correctly over an extended period. It is important to use the treatment as directed until the infection is completely gone to ensure full growth of the healthy nail. Not doing so can risk the fungal infection coming back. Complete treatment can take around 6 months for fingernails, or 9 to 12 months for toenails.
Using Curanail once a week as directed, will allow Curanail to infiltrate the nail allowing it to start killing the fungus.
As treatment of the infection continues, you may start to see the growth of the healthy nail below. Continuous use of the treatment as directed will allow the new nail to grow back properly and reduce the risk of re-infection.
Continuing the use of Curanail will improve the health of the new nail as it grows. You will now notice the infected nail growing out. The discolouration and thickness should also now be reducing as the new, healthy nail replaces the old one.
The infected area should now have completely disappeared and replaced with a new healthier nail. This process can take less time when treating fingernails.
Complete treatment can take around 6 months for fingernails and 9 to 12 months for toenails.
Amorolfine 5% nail lacquer is an alternative fungal nail treatment, available over the counter. Curanail treats mild infections in up to two nails, whilst amorolfine treats multiple nail infections at the same time.
Before the first application, file down all infected areas of the nail including the nail surface as much as you can using the nail file provided. CAUTION: Do not use files that have been used for infected nails on healthy nails otherwise you risk spreading the infection. To further reduce risk of spreading the infection, ensure that no one else uses the files from your kit.
Use one of the swabs provided to clean the surface of the nail. Repeat step 1 and 2 for each infected nail.
Dip the spatula into the bottle of nail lacquer. The lacquer must not be wiped off the edge of the bottle before it is applied.
Apply the lacquer evenly over the entire surface of the nail Repeat this step for each affected nail Let the treated nails dry for approximately 3 minutes Wait at least 10 minutes before applying any cosmetic nail varnish if you wish to do so.
The spatulas provided are re-usable. However, it is important to clean them thoroughly after completing each treatment procedure, using the same swab you used for nail cleansing. Avoid touching newly treated nails with the swab. Close the lacquer bottle tightly. Dispose of the swab carefully as it is inflammable.
You should apply the treatment once a week until the infection has cleared.
Curanail fungal nail treatment may lead to side effects, however, most people do not experience them:
Uncommon: affecting up to 1% of users
You should not use Curanail if any of these apply to you:
Curanail does not interact with other medication.
Wearing artificial acrylic nails and using Curanail nail lacquer is not recommended. You can use cosmetic nail varnish, however, wait at least 10 minutes after applying the fungal nail treatment before painting your nails. Varnish should be carefully removed before repeat application.
Curanail may not be suitable for you if you’re pregnant or planning on getting pregnant. If you think you may have a fungal nail infection, speak to your GP or a pharmacist for advice before using a fungal nail treatment. You should only use medicines on the recommendation of a doctor.
If you are currently or planning on breastfeeding, you should seek advice from a healthcare professional before using Curanail. Discuss any concerns about your fungal nail infection with a doctor or pharmacist who can advise you on the best options based on individual circumstances.
This fungal nail treatment is only suitable for use on mild fungal nail infections. If the infection has spread to more than two nails, it may require further investigation by a doctor.
