Overview


Embarrassed by thick, discoloured toenails that just won’t clear? Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer is a clinically proven, easy-to-use antifungal treatment that penetrates deep into the nail to target infection at its source.
Once applied, the medicated film releases active ingredients continuously, working beneath the nail surface to stop the fungus from growing and restore healthy, clear nails over time.

Curanail offers the same proven active ingredient as Amorolfine 5% but comes in a convenient once-weekly formulation - perfect for busy lifestyles.
All Curanail orders require a secure online consultation with a UK-registered prescriber, and will only be supplied if clinically appropriate.


What is Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer


Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer contains amorolfine hydrochloride, a powerful antifungal medicine that kills fungi responsible for onychomycosis (fungal nail infections). It works by damaging the fungal cell membrane, preventing growth and spread until the infection clears.

It’s ideal for mild to moderate nail infections that don’t affect the nail root or more than two nails per hand or foot. Because it acts locally, Curanail has minimal absorption into the bloodstream - making it a safe and convenient at-home treatment.

  • Proven to treat fungal nail infections caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, and moulds
  • Simple once-weekly application makes adherence easy
  • Gradually restores a natural, healthy nail appearance
  • Fingernails typically clear in 6 months; toenails in up to 12 months


By forming an invisible, water-resistant layer, Curanail continues working between applications - providing around-the-clock antifungal protection.

Directions

To get the best results, consistency is key.

  1. File down the affected nail(s) before first use, removing as much infected area as possible.
  2. Clean the nail surface with the cleansing swab provided.
  3. Apply a thin, even layer of lacquer over the entire nail using the reusable applicator.
  4. Let dry for around 3 minutes.
  5. Reapply once weekly (your prescriber may advise more often in certain cases).
  6. Before each new application, remove the old layer of lacquer and file again if needed.


Continue treatment until the infection has completely grown out — even if the nail looks better earlier.

Side Effects

Most people tolerate Curanail well. Side effects are usually mild and limited to the treated area.

Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):

  • Brittle, fragile, or cracked nails
  • Mild burning, itching, or irritation around the nail


Less common (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):

  • Local redness or scaling
  • Temporary nail discolouration


Rare but serious (seek medical advice immediately):

  • Severe allergic reaction (rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing)
  • Widespread irritation or pain around the nail site


Disclaimer: This is not a complete list of side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine. If you notice anything unusual or concerning, stop using the lacquer and seek medical advice promptly. In an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.

Warnings

Do not use Curanail if you:

  • Are allergic to amorolfine or any ingredients in the product
  • Have severe nail infections involving the base of the nail or several nails
  • Have broken, sore, or inflamed skin around the nail
  • Are under 18 years old (unless specifically prescribed)


Speak to your prescriber before use if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have diabetes, circulation problems, or immune suppression
  • Avoid nail polish or artificial nails during treatment, as these prevent proper absorption of the medication.
