Curanail 5% Fungal Nail Treatment - 3ml

Curanail 5% Fungal Nail Treatment 3ml is a topical antifungal nail lacquer used to treat fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) affecting the fingernails or toenails. It contains amorolfine, a proven antifungal medicine that treats the infection at the source by destroying the fungi responsible for nail infection.

The lacquer penetrates the nail plate to reach the nail bed, where fungal growth occurs. With regular use, Curanail helps to stop the spread of infection, improve nail appearance and support the growth of a healthy, clear nail over time.

Curanail is commonly recommended in pharmacy practice for:

• Mild to moderate fungal nail infections
• Infections affecting up to two nails
• Early-stage nail fungus where oral antifungal treatment is not required

Pack size: 3ml nail lacquer
