Locetar EF 50mg/ml Varnish 2.5ml

Locetar EF 50mg/ml Varnish is indicated for the treatment of onychomycosis caused by dermatophytes, yeasts and molds in adults.

Active substances: 50 mg of amorolfine.

Locetar EF is an antifungal for topical use. The fungistatic and fungicidal action of its active substance - amorolfine - is mainly based on the alteration of the biosynthesis of steroids in the fungal cell membrane. The ergosterol content is reduced and at the same time sterols foreign to the cell accumulate.

Dosage and method of administration:

Locetar EF medicated nail polish should be applied to the affected finger or toe nails once or twice a week. Typically, one application per week is sufficient. The patient must apply the medicine as follows: 1 - File the affected areas of the nails (in particular the surface of the nail) as much as possible, using the disposable file provided. 2 - The surface of the nail must then be cleaned and degreased, using the alcohol pad provided in the sachets or a little cotton wool soaked in alcohol. 3, 4 - Apply the varnish to the entire surface of the affected nail using the spatula provided in the packaging. Clean the spatula between each pass from one nail to be treated to the other, to avoid contaminating the nail polish. Do not clean the spatula on the edge of the bottle. 5 - Close the bottle tightly immediately after each application. 6 - The varnish must dry for approximately 3 minutes. 7- Clean the spatula, with the compress (or cotton soaked in alcohol) previously used to clean the nails. Repeat the procedure for each affected nail. In future applications, the affected nails must be filed again and cleaned with a compress or piece of cotton soaked in alcohol to remove nail polish residue. Locetar EF must be applied to the entire affected nail.

Contraindications:

Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
