Apply this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor/pharmacist or according to the instructions on the label. Do not apply more or less than instructed. Direction of use: 1. Wash and dry the affected area thoroughly. 2. Before the first application, file down the affected areas of the nail (including the nail surfaces) using the nail file provided. 3. Clean the nail surface with a cleaning pad provided after filing. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each affected nail. 4. Dip one of the reusable applicators provided into the bottle of medicated nail lacquer. Do not wipe off the lacquer on the edge of the bottleneck before it is applied. 5. Apply the nail lacquer evenly onto the entire surface of the infected nail and allow it to dry for about 3-5 minutes. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each affected nail. Cosmetic nail lacquers may be applied at least 10 minutes after applying Amorolfine nail lacquer. 6.

Tightly close the nail lacquer bottle. Dispose the used cleaning pads carefully. 8. Before subsequent application, carefully remove any remaining Amorolfine nail lacquer or cosmetic nail lacquer (if any). File down the affected nails again as necessary and clean the nail surfaces thoroughly before application. 9. Do not use the nail files for infected nails on healthy nails to prevent the spread of the infection. Avoid contact with your eyes, ears, nostrils, or mouth. If this medicine gets into these areas, rinse immediately with water. Alert your doctor if you start to have any problems with your eyes. Apply Amorolfine at regular intervals. Do not skip any doses.
