How to use Niogermox Enamel Medicated

For topical use on the nails of the hands, feet and in the immediately adjacent skin areas (perionichium, hyponychia). Unless otherwise prescribed by a doctor, apply a thin layer of NIOGERMOX medicated nail polish once a day on the entire clean and dry surface of the affected nail (s). Apply the medicated nail polish over the entire nail plate, about 5 mm of the adjacent skin and, if possible, under the free edge of the nail. NIOGERMOX medicated nail polish dries in about 30 seconds. Do not wash the treated nails for at least six hours. It is therefore advisable to apply the product in the evening, before going to bed. At the end of this period of time, they will be able to resume normal hygiene practices. To remove NIOGERMOX medicated nail polish you do not need solvents or abrasives (for example nail files), just wash your nails with water. If the product is inadvertently removed with a normal wash, repeat the application of NIOGERMOX medicated nail polish. It is recommended to regularly cut the free edge of the nail and to remove all the onycholic material. The treatment should be continued without interruption until the nail has regenerated and the affected area is completely healed. Normally, it takes 6 months of treatment for fingernails and 9 to 12 months of treatment for toenails. Control mycotic culture should be carried out 4 weeks after the end of treatment, in order to avoid any interference on the results due to residues of the active ingredient. Since it is a topical treatment, it is not necessary to adapt the dosage to specific population groups. In the absence of response to therapy with NIOGERMOX medicated nail polish and / or in the presence of extensive involvement of one or several fingernails and toenails, the possibility of additional oral therapy should be considered.

Warnings and precautions before using Niogermox Enamel Medicated

If sensitization occurs, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. As with all topical treatments of onychomycosis, in the case of involvement of several nails (> 5 nails), in the case in which more than two thirds of the nail are altered and in the case of predisposing factors, such as diabetes and disorders in the immune system , the addition of systemic therapy should be considered. In patients with a history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or diabetic neuropathy, carefully evaluate the risk inherent in the procedure of removing the infected and onycholitic part both in the case of care by the healthcare professional and in case of cleaning by the patient. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. NIOGERMOX 80 mg / g medicated nail polish is for external use only. Do not apply nail polish or other cosmetic products to treated nails. NIOGERMOX medicated nail polish contains cetostearyl alcohol, a substance that can cause local skin reactions such as, for example, allergic contact dermatitis.
