Curanail 5% Fungal Nail Treatment

Overview

Curanail 5% Fungal Nail Treatment is used to treat mild fungal nail infections in adults aged 18 years and over.

It should only be used if you have one or two nails affected, or the upper half or sides of the nail are affected.

Directions

The following steps walk through how to apply Curanail 5% Fungal Nail Treatment.

Prepare your nail: Start by protecting your healthy nails from potential infection spread. Always use a fresh, clean nail file specifically for the infected areas. Gently file down both the infected portions and the surface of the affected nail but never use this same file on your healthy nails as this could transfer the infection to unaffected areas.
Clean your nail: Take one of the provided swabs and thoroughly clean the entire nail surface to remove any debris or buildup. Make sure to clean all areas that will receive treatment. Keep this swab safely aside after cleaning, as you’ll need to use it again later for cleaning the applicator.
Treat the nail: Dip the applicator directly into the nail lacquer bottle without wiping off any excess product on the bottle’s edge. Apply the lacquer evenly across the complete surface of the infected nail, ensuring full coverage. Allow the treated nail to dry completely for approximately 3 minutes, after which it becomes water-resistant and you can wash normally, though you should wait at least 10 minutes before applying any cosmetic nail polish.
Clean the applicator: The applicator can be reused multiple times, but proper cleaning after each use is essential to prevent spreading the infection. You should use the same swab for Step 2 to clean the applicator thoroughly, being careful not to touch the freshly treated nails with the swab. Finally, close the nail lacquer bottle tightly and dispose of the used swab carefully.

After the first use each infected nail should be treated once a week – removing the old lacquer and any nail varnish from your nails using a swab.
