About Fungicros Nail Lacquer 2.5 ml

Fungicros Nail Lacquer 2.5 ml belongs to a class of drugs called 'antifungal' primarily used to treat fungal nail infections. Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin.  Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness, and scaling of the skin.  

Fungicros Nail Lacquer 2.5 ml contains 'Amorolfine' that works by stopping producing a chemical called 'ergosterol' in fungi that causes nail infection. Without ergosterol, the fungus cannot survive. As a result, infection-causing fungi die. 

Use Fungicros Nail Lacquer 2.5 ml as suggested by your doctor. Common side effects of Fungicros Nail Lacquer 2.5 ml may include dry skin, itching, redness, or burning sensation of the skin. Most of these side effects of Fungicros Nail Lacquer 2.5 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Fungicros Nail Lacquer 2.5 ml.
