YOU CAN TREAT
A NAIL FUNGAL INFECTION WITH
LOCERYL® 5 %15

HOW TO USE LOCERYL®

Toenails only grow about 1 mm a month (and fingernails grow about 3 mm a month),19 so it can be hard to spot improvement over short periods of time.
The sooner you start, the sooner you can show off your new healthy nails.

With weekly use, LOCERYL® 5 % will keep working until your healthy nail has regrown.

A mild infection on the fingernail may take up to 6 months to clear and for the healthy nail to grow out.

Some infections on the toenails may take up to 9-12 months to clear and for the healthy nail to grow out.

When using LOCERYL® 5 % Nail Lacquer

    application
  • One application 1 - 2 times per week

  • It is important to carry on using LOCERYL® 5 % Nail Lacquer until the infection has
    cleared and healthy nails have grown back

Other tips to help you keep your nails healthy

  • Treat athlete’s foot early, as it is caused by fungus that may infect
    the nails*
  • With any foot infections, also treat the inside of the shoes and slippers
    with fungal powder/spray
  • Keep hands and feet dry and clean at all times, because nail fungus
    prefers a moist environment
  • Wash feet daily and dry them thoroughly after washing, especially between the toes,
    where fungi grow best
  • Use a separate towel for feet to avoid infecting other parts of your body
  • Wear cotton or natural fibre socks; they help keep your feet dry
  • Change socks daily. Wash socks, towels and bathmats regularly
    at 60 °C to kill the fungus
  • Clean floor regularly to avoid re-infection and transmission to other people
  • Choose shoes that will not cause your feet to sweat and use open footwear
    whenever possible
  • Wear protective footwear in public showers or locker rooms to avoid
    contamination from floors
