Loceryl 5%

LOCERYL 5% MEDICATED NAIL LACQUER — HIGH-PRECISION ANTIFUNGAL THERAPY

Loceryl is a potent, clinical-grade topical antifungal specifically engineered for the treatment of onychomycosis (fungal nail infections). It contains Amorolfine (5% w/v), a broad-spectrum morpholine derivative. This high-precision lacquer works by precisely inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane, leading to the structural collapse of the infecting organism. It provides a foundational solution for patients with fungal infections affecting up to two nails, offering deep penetration into the nail bed where traditional creams cannot reach.

What Is Loceryl 5% Used For?

Loceryl is the primary clinical choice for targeted nail recovery:

1. Onychomycosis: Treating distal and lateral subungual fungal infections caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds.

2. Long-Term Clearance: Providing sustained antifungal activity within the nail for up to 7 days after a single application.

3. Infection Containment: Preventing the spread of fungi to adjacent healthy nails when applied correctly.

⚠️ Critical Safety Warning

The "Files" Rule: Never use the same nail file on healthy nails that you have used on infected nails, as this will spread the fungus. Cosmetic Use: Do not use artificial nails or nail extenders during treatment. Standard cosmetic nail polish can be applied 24 hours after Loceryl, but it must be removed before the next application. Pregnancy & Nursing: Consult your specialist at Sanlive Pharmacy before use, as systemic absorption, though minimal, should be clinically reviewed. Inflammation: If you experience severe redness, itching, or blistering around the nail, stop use immediately.

How to Use

For maximum efficacy, Loceryl must be applied to a prepared nail surface to ensure the active ingredient penetrates the hard keratin layer.

Standard Dosage:

• Adults: Typically applied once (1) or twice (2) weekly.

Application Tips:

• File the Nail: Before the first application, use the provided file to thin the infected area of the nail as much as possible.

• Clean the Surface: Use one of the provided medicated swabs to clean and degrease the nail surface.

• Apply Lacquer: Dip the reusable spatula into the bottle and paint the lacquer over the entire surface of the infected nail.

• Allow to Dry: Let the nail dry for approximately 3 to 5 minutes before putting on socks or shoes.

• Duration: Treatment must continue without interruption until the nail has completely regenerated (usually 6 months for fingernails and 9 to 12 months for toenails).

Common Side Effects

Side effects are rare and generally localized. Some patients may experience a slight, temporary burning sensation around the nail or minor nail discoloration. If you experience a persistent allergic skin reaction, contact Sanlive Pharmacy or your dermatologist.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I wear "Nail Polish" with Loceryl?

A: Yes. You can apply cosmetic nail polish 24 hours after applying Loceryl. However, you must remove the polish thoroughly with a standard remover before your next Loceryl application.

Q: Why do I have to "File" the nail?

A: Fungal infections make the nail thick and hard. Filing thins the nail, allowing the Amorolfine to penetrate deeper into the nail bed where the fungus lives.

Q: How long does one bottle last?

A: A 2.5ml bottle typically lasts for approximately 6 months of treatment for a single nail when applied once weekly.

Q: What if I "Forget" an application?

A: Simply apply it as soon as you remember and then continue with your normal weekly routine. Do not apply more than twice in one week.

Storage Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from direct heat and light. Keep the bottle tightly closed and upright to prevent the lacquer from drying or leaking. Keep out of reach of children.
