4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
DOSAGE
Batrafen Nail Laquer is applied in a thin layer every other day in the
first month, at least twice
weekly in the second month and once a week from the third month
onwards.
METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
As much as possible of the destroyed nail material should be removed
before the start of
treatment with Batrafen Nail Laquer, for example with scissors or with
the enclosed disposable
nail files.
Unless directed otherwise, Batrafen Nail Laquer is applied in a thin
layer to the diseased nail
every other day in the first month. In this way, the nail is saturated
with the active substance.
In the second month of treatment, application can be reduced to at
least twice weekly and to
once a week from the third month of treatment onwards.
Throughout the application period the entire layer of lacquer is
removed once a week with
alcohol swabs. During this process too, as much as possible of the
affected nail material
should be removed with disposable nail files.
If in the meantime the layer of lacquer becomes damaged, it is
sufficient to paint over the
chipped areas again with Batrafen Nail Laquer.
Do not use nail polish or other nail cosmetic products on the treated
nails.
DURATION OF ADMINISTRATION
The duration of use depends on the severity of the infection, but
should not exceed a treatment
period of 6 months.
In this period, the pathogens of the nail fungal infection are
generally killed off. The doctor will
decide whether it is necessary to continue treatment.
PEDIATRIC PATIENTS
Based on the safety profile in adults, Batrafen Nail Laquer is
considered safe for use in chil
