For use on fingernails and toenails only.

Before applying Terbinafine Moberg Pharma, remove any nail polish or other cosmetic products from the nails and surrounding skin.

Dosage Adults- Apply a thin layer once a dayto the entire surface of the affected nails and under the free edge of the nail, using the tip of the tube. - Do not apply to the surrounding skin. - Wait about 5 minutes until the solution has dried completely. - The treated nails should not be washed or moistened for at least 8 hours. Therefore, it is recommended to apply at night before bedtime and after showering or bathing. Do not apply Terbinafine Moberg Pharma to the nail bed if the affected nail or parts of the affected nail have detached from the underlying nail bed.

In general, the treatment duration for fingernails is about 6 months, while for toenails it is 9 to 12 months. You may experience some improvement after 12 weeks, but the nail takes longer to heal completely.
