Details
Batrafen Nail Lacquer is a nail lacquer that is painted onto the fingernails or toenails. Batrafen Nail Lacquer contains ciclopirox, which is an antifungal agent. Batrafen Nail Lacquer is used to treat fungal infections of the fingernails and toenails.
Fungal nail infections are hard to treat and a full cure depends on several factors, including how badly damaged the nail is. While Batrafen Nail Lacquer can cure the fungal infection, it cannot repair the damage and so a full cure can be expected in less than one in three people.
Before applying Batrafen Nail Lacquer for the first time, as much as possible of the affected nail material should be removed with a scissors and the remaining nail roughened with a nail file. Batrafen Nail Lacquer is applied to the diseased Nail in a thin layer every other day for the first month. this ensures the Nail is saturated with the active ingredient. Application may be reduced to not less than twice weekly in the second month of treatment and to once weekly from the third month of treatment. Throughout the application period, the entire coating of lacquer is taken off once a week with a nail varnish remover. During this process, as much as possible of the affected nail material should be removed, using a nail file. If the coating of lacquer is damaged in the meantime, it is sufficient to paint over the chipped areas again with the Nail Lacquer. The duration of the application depends on the severity of the infection, but should not exceed 6 months.
