Amortas Medicated Nail Lacquer 2.5 ml

Amortas Medicated Nail Lacquer 2.5 ml is an antifungal medicine used mainly to treat fungal infections of the nails. Fungal infections occur when certain fungi invade and grow in the skin or nails, leading to symptoms such as irritation, redness, itching, scaling, and sometimes discomfort or pain.

This medication contains Amorolfine as its active ingredient. It works by interfering with the production of a substance called ergosterol, which is essential for fungal cell survival. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell wall becomes weak and the fungus cannot survive, eventually leading to its death and clearing the infection.

The lacquer should be applied exactly as directed by your doctor. Some people may experience mild side effects like dryness, itching, redness, or a burning feeling on the skin around the application site. These effects are usually temporary and improve on their own, but if they continue or get worse, you should seek medical advice.

Before using this product, let your doctor know if you have any allergies to its ingredients. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before starting treatment. Since the lacquer is flammable, avoid smoking or being near open flames immediately after applying it. If you are using other topical medicines such as steroid creams or ointments, inform your doctor so the dosage can be adjusted if necessary.

Possible side effects include:

• Itching

• Dryness of the skin

• Redness or irritation

• Mild burning sensation

Common conditions treated with this lacquer:
It is primarily used to treat fungal nail infections, but it may also be effective in other fungal conditions such as:

• Ringworm (Tinea corporis) – fungal infections on the skin of the body

• Jock itch (Tinea cruris) – irritation and itching in the groin area

• Athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis) – fungal infections between the toes or on the feet

• Cutaneous candidiasis – yeast infections affecting the skin

• Pityriasis versicolor – uneven skin patches caused by fungal overgrowth

How to apply:
Clean and dry the affected area before application. Use a small amount of the lacquer and gently apply it to the infected nail or surrounding skin. Do not apply on broken skin or open wounds. It is strictly for external use only. If the product accidentally comes in contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse thoroughly with water.

Benefits of using this medication:
Amortas lacquer helps destroy fungal cells by damaging their protective membrane, effectively eliminating the infection. It provides relief from symptoms like scaling, itching, burning, and cracking of the affected area, promoting healthier nail growth.

Storage instructions:
Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children. It does not require refrigeration but should be kept at a temperature between 10°C and 25°C or below 30°C.

If too much is used or accidentally swallowed:
Overuse on the skin is unlikely to cause serious harm. However, if swallowed accidentally, contact a doctor immediately.

Precautions and warnings:
Tell your doctor if you have a history of liver issues, diabetes, adrenal gland disorders, glaucoma, cataracts, or any known allergies to medicines. It should be used cautiously during pregnancy or breastfeeding and only under medical supervision. When applying to the breast area, ensure it is completely removed before nursing.
If there is no improvement after one week of treatment for ringworm or jock itch or two weeks for athlete’s foot, consult your doctor. Avoid prolonged use, as this may lead to side effects such as hormonal imbalance or increased blood sugar levels in some individuals.

Lifestyle and hygiene tips to support recovery:
Wear comfortable, loose clothing to reduce irritation and sweating. Avoid walking barefoot in public showers, gyms, or locker rooms to prevent reinfection. Wash your feet and change socks regularly, and avoid shoes that trap heat and moisture.
Do not scratch the affected area to prevent spreading the infection. Keep personal items like towels, bedding, socks, and shoes separate and wash them regularly. Avoid sharing them with others.
If you are prone to yeast infections, reducing sugary foods and artificial preservatives in your diet may help. Limiting alcohol and caffeine consumption can also support recovery.

By following proper application techniques and maintaining good hygiene, this medication can help effectively treat fungal infections and prevent their recurrence.
