Uses

The lacquer should be painted onto the affected nail(s) once or twice a week, as directed by your doctor. Don’t apply it on the skin around the nail.

Before applying the lacquer, the affected areas of nail, including the nail surfaces, should be filed down as thoroughly as possible using one of the disposable nail files supplied with the medicine. Throw the nail file away after doing this – do not use it to file healthy nails as this will spread the infection. The surface of the nail should then be cleansed using one of the disposable alcohol swabs supplied with the medicine.

The nail lacquer should then be applied onto the entire surface of the infected nail(s) using one of the reusable applicators supplied. For each nail to be treated, dip the applicator into the nail lacquer without wiping off any of the lacquer on the bottle neck. Allow the nail to dry for about three minutes.
