Description
Loceryl is a topical antifungal treatment specifically designed to target fungal infections of the toenails and fingernails. It contains the active ingredient amorolfine, which works by disrupting the structure of fungal cell membranes. This prevents the fungi from growing and eventually leads to their death.
Loceryl is most commonly used to treat onychomycosis, a persistent fungal nail infection that causes thickened, discoloured, or brittle nails. It is also sometimes used for fungal skin infections like athlete’s foot when they affect the area surrounding the nail. Unlike oral antifungal medications, Loceryl is applied directly to the affected nail and surrounding skin, allowing for localised treatment without systemic side effects.
The lacquer is typically applied once or twice a week, depending on the severity of the infection and treatment plan. After application, it dries to form a protective film, allowing the active ingredient to penetrate the nail over time. This slow-release effect enables the medication to remain active for several days with each use.
Visible improvement can take several weeks, and full treatment may last 6 to 12 months, as it takes time for the infected nail to grow out and be replaced by healthy tissue.
Side effects are rare but may include mild irritation, burning, or redness around the nail. Loceryl is generally well tolerated and considered safe for long-term use.
