Administration form: topical use (only for use on nails, do not apply to the skin around the nails).
Apply the solution 1 or 2 times a week, only on the affected nails of the hands or feet. Try to associate the use of the medicated nail polish with a hygiene habit, on 1 day of the week that you choose and maintain this routine while the treatment lasts.
The required treatment duration will depend basically on the severity and location of the infection. Generally, it will be six months for hand nails and nine to twelve months for foot nails. It is recommended to review the treatment every three months.
Application mode:
1.Before the first application of Odenil, it is essential to file as deeply as possible the affected parts of the nail (especially the surface), with one of the files included in the package.
Attention:
Healthy nails should never be filed with the file used for infected nails. Fungal infections are contagious. To prevent infection, avoid having someone else use that file.
2.Clean and degrease the nail surface with one of the impregnated wipes contained in the package. Before each new application, file the infected nails and degrease them again, in order to eliminate the remaining Odenil, including cosmetic nail polish.
3.Insert one of the included spatulas into the solution. The spatula should not touch the neck of the container when being removed before application. Ensure that the solution does not drip from the outside of the container neck.
7.The spatulas can be reused, although it is essential to clean them after each treatment, using the same wipe used to clean the nails. Avoid touching the treated nails with the wipe. Dispose of the used wipe.
The treatment must be continued without interruption until the parts of the nail destroyed by the fungus are replaced by new and healthy layers. Remember that the success of this treatment depends on your perseverance, and you must follow each of the steps indicated above.
