Ciclonic 80 mg/g is a medicinal nail varnish. It contains the active substance ciclopirox, which belongs to a group of medicines known as antifungals. Ciclopirox penetrates the nail plate and has a fungicidal effect on all major causative agents of nail fungus infections.

Ciclonic 80 mg/g is used to treat fungal infections of the nails (onychomycosis).

Follow the instructions for administration of this medicine exactly as described in this package leaflet or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Unless otherwise instructed, apply a thin layer of Ciclonic medicinal nail varnish to the affected nail once a day.

Presentation without nail files included

Before the first application of Ciclonic, remove as much as possible of the affected part of the nail, for example, with nail scissors, and as much as possible of the hyperkeratotic material with a commercially available disposable nail file.

Presentation with nail files included

Before the first application of Ciclonic, remove as much as possible of the affected part of the nail, for example, with nail scissors, and as much as possible of the hyperkeratotic material with one of the included disposable nail files.

During the entire application period, once a week, remove the entire layer of varnish with a commercially available cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Also, during this process, remove as much as possible of the hyperkeratotic material from the nail plate, always with a disposable nail file.

If the varnish layer is damaged between applications, simply reapply Ciclonic to the affected areas.

Treatment duration depends on the severity of the infection but should not exceed 6 months.

After each use, it is recommended to close the bottle cap tightly to prevent the solution from drying out.

Do not let the solution come into contact with the neck of the bottle to avoid the cap sticking.

If you use more Ciclonic than you should:

No cases of overdose have been reported.

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 medicine and the amount ingested.

If you forget to use Ciclonic:

Do not use a double dose to make up for forgotten doses. Continue treatment as recommended by your doctor or as explained in section 3 of this package leaflet (How to use Ciclonic).

If you stop using Ciclonic:

If you stop using Ciclonic before your nails are completely cleared or their appearance has improved substantially and healthy nails have regrown, it is possible that the fungus has not been completely eliminated. In such cases, the onychomycosis may worsen again.

If you have any further questions about the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
