Do not use the nail files for affected nails on healthy nails, as this could spread the infection. To prevent the infection from spreading, ensure that no one else uses the files from your kit.
The provided spatulas are reusable. However, it is essential to wash them thoroughly with the same wipe you used to clean your nails, once you have finished the treatment steps. Avoid touching the newly treated nails with the cleaning wipe. Close the nail varnish bottle perfectly. Dispose of the wipe carefully, as it is flammable.
- Before reusing amorolfina, first remove any previous nail varnish or nail polish from your nails using a cleaning wipe, and then file your nails if necessary.
- Reapply the varnish as described above.
- Once dry, the varnish is not affected by soap and water, so you can wash your hands and feet normally. If you need to use chemical products such as paint thinners or turpentine, you should wear impermeable gloves (resistant to water) to protect the nail varnish.
- It is essential that you continue using amorolfina until the infection has disappeared and healthy nails have grown back. The duration of treatment is usually 6 months for fingernails and 9 to 12 months for toenails.
Your doctor will probably check how your treatment is progressing every 3 months.
If Amorolfina Viatris Comes into Contact with Your Eyes or Ears
If amorolfina comes into contact with your eyes or ears, rinse them immediately with water and contact your doctor or pharmacist, or go to the nearest hospital.
If You Accidentally Ingest Amorolfina Viatris
In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.
If You Forget to Use Amorolfina Viatris
Do not worry if you forget to use amorolfina at the scheduled time. When you remember, start using the product again, exactly as before.
If You Interrupt Treatment with Amorolfina Viatris
Do not interrupt treatment with amorolfina before your doctor tells you to, as the infection may recur.
If you have any other questions about the use of this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
