Possible Side Effects

Nail formulations can occasionally cause nail discoloration, brittleness, or other local nail changes.

Stop treatment and seek medical advice if you develop severe irritation, blistering, swelling, or other signs of an allergic reaction.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using amorolfine. Use should be limited to situations where it is considered appropriate.

Important Safety Information

Amorolfine is intended for external use. Fungal nail infections can require treatment for several months because the infected nail needs to grow out. Follow the complete treatment schedule even after symptoms begin to improve.
