Loceryl Dosage/Direction for Use

Apply Loceryl to the affected nails at a dosage of 1-2 applications weekly. When applying the varnish, carefully comply with the following recommendations:
1. Before first applying Loceryl, carefully clean the nails using a nail file, file the affected area of the nail (particularly at the surface of the nail) as completely as possible. Be careful not to file the periungual skin.
Caution: Nail files used on an infected nails must not be used on healthy nails.
2. Clean the surface of the infected nail with a cleaning pad.
3. Dip one of the reusable spatulas into the lacquer. Do not wipe the edge of the bottle.
Note: The spatula provides a measured dose of Loceryl.
4. Using the spatula, paint Loceryl over the entire surface of the infected nail.
5. Close the bottle tightly immediately after painting the infected nail to prevent Loceryl from evaporating.
6. Repeat steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 for each affected nail.
7. Allow time for the nails to dry (3-5 min).
8. When the patient has finished treating all the infected nails, clean the spatula and the neck of the bottle with the same cleaning pad used for nail cleansing.
Note: Follow previously mentioned steps each time Loceryl is used.
When working with organic solvents (thinners, white spirit, etc), wear impermeable gloves in order to protect Loceryl on the nails.
Treatment should be continued without interruption until the nail is regenerated and the affected areas are finally cured. The required duration of treatment depends essentially on intensity and localization of the infection and on the growth rate of nails. In general, it is 6 months for fingernails and 9-12 months for toenails.
