Description

LOCERYL contains the active ingredient amorolfine. It is used to treat fungal infections of the nails.

LOCERYL belongs to a family of medicines called anti-fungal drugs. These medicines work by killing a wide variety of fungi that can cause nail infections.

This medicine is available from a pharmacy. A doctor’s prescription is not required.

LOCERYL treatment alone is not suitable for use in severe infections where the lunula is affected. In this case, you should talk to your healthcare practitioner. The lunula is the crescent-shaped area at the base of the nail – see the illustration on the LOCERYL carton.

Because fungal nail infections are hard to treat, treatment may be required for 6-12 months or longer and a full cure cannot be expected in all cases. After 6 months of treatment, improvement can be expected in 70% to 80% of people, with full cure expected in approximately one in three people.
