for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Loceryl contains amorolfine, which affects several fungal species that can cause nail infections.\u00a0Amorolfine penetrates down through the nail and can thereby combat inaccessible fungi in the\u00a0nail bed.\u00a0Loceryl is used to treat moderately widespread nail fungus without attacking the nail&#8217;s growth zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over-the-counter Loceryl can be used when you have previously been diagnosed and treated by a doctor and require additional treatment to completely cure an\u00a0infection.\u00a0You may also need to start a new treatment if infection\u00a0recurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amorolfine contained in Loceryl may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using

Loceryl<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>When Loceryl is used on&nbsp;a doctor&#8217;s&nbsp;prescription&nbsp;:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dose&nbsp;one has been individually tailored for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Never change the&nbsp;prescribed&nbsp;dose&nbsp;yourself&nbsp;without consulting your doctor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>When to use Loceryl without a prescription:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The varnish is applied to the nail surface once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The treatment should be continued without interruption until the nail is renewed and affected areas are healed (normal appearance of the nail).&nbsp;In general, these are 6 months for fingernails and 9-12 months for toenails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you.\u00a0Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instructions for use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
