POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Loceryl should be applied to the affected nails once or twice a week.
To apply the lacquer, the following recommendations should be
carefully complied with:
a) Before the first application of Loceryl, the nails should be
thoroughly cleaned. Using a
nail file, the affected areas of the nail (particularly the surface),
are filed down as much as
possible.
Care must be taken not to file the periungual skin.
b) The surface of the nail should then be cleansed and degreased using
a cleansing
swab provided, and all remaining lacquer removed.
c) The lacquer is applied over the entire surface of the affected nail
with the reusable
applicators and the applicator cleaned before treating another nail to
avoid contaminating
the lacquer. The applicator must not be wiped off on the edge of the
bottle.
d) The applicator is cleaned with one of the swabs provided. The
bottle must be kept
tightly closed.
The same process is repeated for each affected nail.
Treatment should be continued without interruption until the nail is
regenerated and the
affected area is cured clinically and free of any fungus.
The required duration of treatment depends essentially on intensity
and localization of the
infection and the growth rate of the nails. In general, it is six
months for finger nails and
nine to twelve months for toenails.
Special instructions:
• The same nail files must not be used for healthy nails.
• Before each new application, the affected nail is filed if
necessary, and always cleaned
with the cleansing swabs to eliminate any remaining lacquer.
• When working with organic solvents (thinners, white
