• Allergic (hypersensitive) to amorolfine or any of the other ingredients of Loceryl (see section 6 for other ingredients).

This medicine can cause allergic reactions, some can be serious. If this happens, stop applying the product, immediately remove the product with a nail varnish remover or the cleaning swabs provided with the package and seek medical advice. The product must not be reapplied.

You must get urgent medical help if you have any of the following symptoms:

• You have difficulty breathing
• Your face, lips, tongue or throat swell
• Your skin develops a severe rash

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Loceryl.

• The lacquer should not be applied on the skin around the nail.
• Avoid the lacquer coming into contact with the eyes, ears or mucous membranes (e.g. mouth and nostrils).
• Do not inhale.
• Wear impermeable gloves when using organic solvents to stop the nail lacquer from being removed.

There are no known interactions with other medicines.

Artificial nails should not be used while using Loceryl.

Cosmetic nail varnish can be used, but you should wait at least 10 minutes after applying Loceryl before painting your nails.

The nail varnish should be carefully removed before repeat application of Loceryl.

You should not use Loceryl and tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breast-feeding. Your doctor will then decide whether you should use Loceryl.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.

One gram of Loceryl contains 552 mg of alcohol (ethanol), which is equivalent to 55.2 % w/w. It may cause a burning sensation on damaged skin. Ethanol is a flammable substance and should not be used near an open flame, a lit cigarette or some devices (e.g. hair dryers).

Step 1. File the nail

Before the first application, file down the infected areas of nail, including the nail surface, as much as possible using the nail file provided.

CAUTION: Do not use nail files used for infected nails on healthy nails, otherwise you may spread the infection.

To prevent the spread of infection take care that no one else uses the files from your kit.

Step 2. Clean the nail

Use one of the swabs provided to clean the nail surface.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each affected nail.

Step 3. Take some lacquer from the bottle

Dip the applicator into the bottle of nail lacquer. The lacquer must not be wiped off on the edge of the bottle before it is applied.

Step 4. Apply the lacquer

Apply the nail lacquer evenly over the entire surface of the nail.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each affected nail.

Step 5. Allow to dry

Let the treated nail(s) dry for approximately 3 minutes.

Wait at least 10 minutes before applying cosmetic nail varnish.

Step 6. Clean the applicator

The applicator provided is re-usable. However, it is important to clean it thoroughly after completing each treatment procedure, using the same swab you used for nail cleansing.

Avoid touching newly treated nails with the swab.

Close the nail lacquer bottle tightly. Dispose of the swab carefully as it is inflammable.

• Before using Loceryl again, first remove the old lacquer and any nail varnish from your nails using a swab, then file down the nails again if necessary.
• Re-apply the lacquer as described above.
• When dry the nail lacquer is unaffected by soap and water, so you may wash your hands and feet as normal. If you need to use chemicals such as paint thinners or white spirit, rubber or other impermeable (waterproof) gloves should be worn to protect the lacquer on your fingernails.
• It is important to carry on using Loceryl until the infection has cleared and healthy nails have grown back. This usually takes 6 months for finger nails and 9 to 12 months for toe nails.

Your doctor will probably check how your treatment is progressing every 3 months or so.

If you get Loceryl in your eyes or ears wash out with water immediately and contact your doctor, pharmacist or nearest hospital straight away.

If you, or anyone else, accidentally swallows the lacquer contact your doctor, pharmacist or nearest hospital straight away.

Don't worry if you forget to use Loceryl at the right time. When you remember, start using the product again, in the same way as before.

Do not stop using Loceryl before your doctor tells you to or your infection could come back.

If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet. You can also report side effects directly via https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk or search for MHRA Yellow Card in the Google Play or Apple App Store.
