Galderma) is a topical antifungal formulated as a film-forming nail lacquer. It is used for onychomycosis (fungal nail infection) caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, or non-dermatophyte moulds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best evidence is in mild distal-edge disease<\/strong> \u2014 i.e. fungal change limited to the outer 50% of the nail and not involving the lunula (matrix). For deeper or more extensive infection, oral therapy (terbinafine 250 mg\/day \u00d7 6 weeks for fingernails, 12 weeks for toenails; or itraconazole pulse) is more effective. Combination therapy (oral + topical) is sometimes used for refractory cases.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-apply\">\u03a0\u03ce\u03c2 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03ba\u03ac\u03bd\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5 \u03b1\u03af\u03c4\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>File the affected nail<\/strong> with the disposable file in the kit until the surface feels rough \u2014 allows lacquer penetration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean the surface<\/strong> with the swab provided (or alcohol).<\/li>\n<li>Apply a thin layer of lacquer evenly across the entire nail surface using the spatula.<\/li>\n<li>Let dry for 3\u20135 minutes before re-shoeing or contact.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Once weekly<\/strong> for fingernails and toenails. Continue for 6 months (fingernails) or 9\u201312 months (toenails) until the infected portion has grown out.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid nail varnish (cosmetic polish) within 24 hours of applying the lacquer; some lacquers can be over-painted with cosmetic polish but check the leaflet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"mechanism\">\u03a0\u03ce\u03c2 \u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b5\u03af<\/h2>\n<p>Amorolfine is structurally a morpholine derivative \u2014 distinct from azoles or allylamines. It inhibits fungal \u039414-reductase and \u03947-\u03948-isomerase \u2014 two enzymes downstream of squalene epoxidase in the ergosterol biosynthesis pathway. The result is depletion of ergosterol and accumulation of sterol intermediates, killing the fungus. The lacquer film delivers the drug into the nail plate over a week, allowing once-weekly dosing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"side-effects\">\u03a0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b5\u03bd\u03ad\u03c1\u03b3\u03b5\u03b9\u03b5\u03c2<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Common \u2014 mild burning sensation around the nail, brittle nails, discoloration of the nail plate (often hard to distinguish from the residual fungal change).<\/li>\n<li>Uncommon \u2014 contact dermatitis on periungual skin.<\/li>\n<li>Rare \u2014 onycholysis (nail lifting away from nail bed).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"pregnancy\">Pregnancy &#038; breastfeeding<\/h2>\n<p>Limited data. Minimal systemic absorption. Onychomycosis is not life-threatening \u2014 many clinicians defer treatment until after pregnancy and breastfeeding. If using during pregnancy, weigh against the option of doing nothing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faqs\">\u03a3\u03c5\u03c7\u03bd\u03ad\u03c2 \u0395\u03c1\u03c9\u03c4\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2<\/h2>\n<h3>How long until my toenail looks normal?<\/h3>\n<p>The drug clears the fungus in the nail it can reach but the dead, fungus-affected portion of the nail keeps growing out from the cuticle. Toenails grow 1\u20131.5 mm per month, so a fully grown-out toenail takes ~9\u201312 months. Photo at month 0, 3, 6, 12 to track objectively.<\/p>\n<h3>Why are cure rates lower than oral therapy?<\/h3>\n<p>Topical drug penetration into nail is limited. Oral terbinafine reaches the nail bed via the bloodstream and accumulates from below. Topical lacquer reaches the nail from above and penetrates &lt; 1 mm. For thick or matrix-involved infection, topical alone fails.<\/p>\n<h3>When should I use lacquer instead of oral therapy?<\/h3>\n<p>Mild distal-edge infection involving &lt; 50% of nail and not the lunula; patients who can&#8217;t take oral antifungals (active liver disease, drug interactions, pregnancy \/ breastfeeding, refusal of oral therapy); maintenance after a successful oral course to prevent relapse.<\/p>\n<h3>Should I combine lacquer with oral terbinafine?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 combination (oral terbinafine 12 weeks PLUS weekly amorolfine lacquer for 12 months) gives the highest cure rates for severe onychomycosis, especially toe-nail. Cost and complexity are higher.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use cosmetic nail polish over the lacquer?<\/h3>\n<p>Some amorolfine products allow cosmetic polish to be applied 24 hours after the medicated lacquer \u2014 check the leaflet for your specific brand. Remove cosmetic polish before the next weekly application.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Loceryl Nail LIQ the same as Loceryl?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 Loceryl is the original Galderma brand of amorolfine. Loceryl Nail LIQ contains the same active ingredient (amorolfine 5%), manufactured by Galderma under WHO-GMP. Bioequivalent.<\/p>\n<h3>What if my nail is thick \u2014 should I see a podiatrist?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Nail debridement (mechanical thinning by a podiatrist or dermatologist with a burr) before starting topical therapy improves penetration and outcomes. For thick toenails, debridement + oral terbinafine + topical lacquer is the most effective combination.<\/p>\n<h3>Why does the file in the kit look so cheap?<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s a single-use disposable file specifically to avoid spreading fungus to other nails. Don&#8217;t reuse files between nails \u2014 that&#8217;s how the index finger gets infected from the great toe.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I get this on my fingers and feet at the same time?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 use a different file for fingers vs. toes; avoid cross-contamination. Treat both for the appropriate duration.<\/p>\n<h3>What if I miss a weekly application?<\/h3>\n<p>Apply as soon as you remember and resume the weekly schedule. A missed week occasionally is acceptable; multiple missed weeks reduce the cure probability further.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"storage\">\u0391\u03c0\u03bf\u03b8\u03ae\u03ba\u03b5\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7<\/h2>\n<p>Store the bottle tightly capped at 15\u201325 \u00b0C, away from heat and direct sunlight (the solvent is volatile).
