Amorolfina Sandoz Medicated Enamel Sandoz Medicament From Mushrooms

Treatment of onychomycosis caused by dermatophytes, yeasts or molds, without involvement of the nail matrix in adults.

Indications

Amorolfina Sandoz nail polish is a medicament for external use against nail infections caused by fungi (mycosis).
Amorolfina Sandoz nail polish is used without the need for a medical prescription for the treatment of nail fungus localized to the anterior and lateral edges of the nails, in the event that there are no more than two sick nails.
If, on the other hand, the infection affects a larger surface than just the anterior and lateral margin, it is necessary to consult a doctor.

Nail mycosis is commonly characterized by a white, yellow, or brown discoloration and thickening of the nail, while the appearance of the actual infestation can vary.
