Loceryl Nail Lacquer Description

Onychomycosis, or tinea unguium are hard to pronounce but basically means a fungal nail infection. This is usually more common to occur in your toenails, but it can also appear in fingernails. A visit to your doctor can confirm whether your nails are affected by fungi or just misshapen or abnormal looking. Once verified as being caused by fungi, your doctor may recommend that you buy Loceryl Nail Lacquer or generic Amorolfine. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Disable Fungal Cells Membranes and Clear the Infection

After applying Loceryl Nail Lacquer, this topical antifungal will penetrate your nails and work to inhibit certain enzymes that will result in a decrease in a vital component that funguses need for a stable cell membrane called ergosterol. As this occurs, a build-up of ignosterol accumulates in the fungal cell membrane. The result is thickened fungal cell walls which renders the cell membrane non-functional and the fungi will die. This is applied to the affected nails once or twice a week for continual action as 5% Amorolfine penetrates the nail to kill the fungus.

Conditions Treated by Loceryl Nail Lacquer

The mild climates in western countries tend to be more susceptible to nail fungus caused by dermatophytes; while the hot and humid climates of the tropics and subtropics quite often involve Candida and non-dermatophytic molds. Risk factors for nail fungal infections include, aging, footwear that has no or little ventilation, being barefoot in gyms, public showers, and around pool surfaces.

Men are usually affected by nail fungus more than women, possibly due to heavier manual labor jobs that involve increased sweating and having their feet in moist, warm footwear more often and for longer periods. Onychomycosis is contagious and can spread to the rest of your nails or may infect others that may be exposed to your damp footwear or shares the same shower or towels as you.

Before Loceryl Nail Lacquer is Prescribed

Ask your doctor if Loceryl Nail Lacquer is safe to use on your nails if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or you are breast feeding. Discuss other medical conditions or allergies with your doctor and list any prescription drugs you currently take or use, as well as over the counter products, herbal remedies, and vitamin supplements to be certain Loceryl Nail Lacquer will not react with anything.

Loceryl Nail Lacquer Proper Use

Nail fungal infections can take up to a year to treat successfully so be patient and continue to apply Loceryl Nail Lacquer as directed and check with your doctor every month or so to monitor your progress. Ask your doctor about the use of colored nail polish over Loceryl Nail Lacquer before applying any as it may interfere with the drug’s activity.
