Amorolfine is an effective antifungal nail lacquer used specifically to treat fungal infections in nails.

Amorolfine Product Information

Amorolfine 5% Medicated Nail Lacquer is a topical treatment for fungal nail infections.

It contains the active ingredient amorolfine hydrochloride, which interferes with fungal cell membrane production to disrupt the growth of various types of fungi that cause fungal nail infections (also known as ‘onychomycosis’).

Amorolfine 5% Medicated Nail Lacquer is formulated to penetrate the nail plate and bed after the treatment is applied.

Clinical studies have found that Amorolfine either reduces symptoms or completely cures fungal infections in over 77% of patients with toenail infections and over 83% of patients with fingernail infections after 3 months of treatment1.

Read our complete guide to fungal nail treatment to learn more about the effectiveness of Amorolfine and other fungal nail treatments.

  1. File down the infected areas of the nail surface as much as possible with the nail file provided. Use a separate nail file for infected nails to prevent the spreading of the infection.
  2. Use the cleansing swabs provided to clean the surface of the nail. This helps remove infected material and improves lacquer penetration.
  3. Apply the lacquer evenly over the entire surface of the affected nail using the reusable applicator provided. Do not wipe off excess lacquer on the edge of the bottle.
  4. Leave the lacquer to dry for approximately 3 minutes.
  5. Clean the applicator thoroughly after use with the same swab used for nail cleansing.
  6. Dispose of used swabs and avoid contact between them and newly treated nails.
  7. Before reapplying, remove the old lacquer with a swab and file down the nails as necessary.

Note: Amorolfine medicated nail lacquer is resistant to soap and water after drying. Therefore, it is fine to apply cosmetic nail lacquer or polish on the nail after applying Amorolfine medicated nail lacquer.

It typically takes 6 months for Amorolfine to clear a fingernail infection and 9-12 months to clear a toenail infection. Treatment should be continued until the infected nail is completely replaced by healthy growth.

Our pharmacists recommend applying the nail lacquer routinely to the affected nails until the infection has cleared and healthy nails have grown back.

Amorolfine should be applied 1-2 times per week to the affected nails. Consistent application is important to prevent persistent or recurring infections.

Amorolfine FAQs

Amorolfine, Curanail and Loceryl are medicated nail lacquers containing the same active ingredient, amorolfine hydrochloride.

However, Amorolfine is a generic treatment that is unbranded and therefore cheaper than Curanail and Loceryl, which are more expensive as they are branded treatments.

Additionally, Curanail and Loceryl are only available in one size (3ml), whereas Amorolfine is available in two sizes (3ml and 5ml).

Concentration of Active Ingredient 5% 5% 5%
Branded or Generic? Generic Branded Branded

Amorolfine is highly flammable and should be kept away from fire and open flames. Store it in a cool, dry place, out of the sight and reach of children.

In rare cases (affecting up to 1 in 1,000 people), Amorolfine can cause nail damage, such as brittle or discoloured nails. However, these effects may also be due to the underlying infection.

It is not advisable to use Amorolfine while pregnant or breastfeeding, as the active ingredient, amorolfine hydrochloride, could be passed into the patient’s bloodstream and potentially affect the baby.

A very impressive package as has everything required. The preparation, application and after use materials all supplied.

Whole process of ordering to receiving was very seamless. If I require more, I will order this again with Pharmica.
