Chemists Own Amer-Fine Anti-Fungal Nail Treatment Kit 5ml

Tax included.

Chemists Own Amer-Fine Anti-Fungal Nail Treatment Kit contains the active ingredient amorolfine. It is used to treat fungal infections of the nails.

Amorolfine belongs to a group of medicines called anti-fungal drugs. These medicines work by killing a wide variety of fungi that can cause nail infections.

This medicine is available from a pharmacy. A doctor’s prescription is not required.

Amer-Fine treatment alone is not suitable for use in severe infections where the lunula (crescent-shaped area at the base of the nail) is affected. In this case you should talk to your doctor, pharmacist or podiatrist.

Because fungal nail infections are hard to treat, treatment may be required for 6-12 months or longer and a full cure cannot be expected in all cases. After 6 months of treatment, improvement can be expected in 70% to 80% of people, with full cure expected in approximately one in three people.
