What is nacler?
NACLER 5% Nail Lacquer (amorolfine hydrochloride), is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the nails (onychomycosis).
NACLER can be applied to the affected fingernails and toenails once or twice a week. Antifungal nail medication treatment should be continued without interruption until the infection has cleared and the nail has grown back healthily. Generally, this takes up to 6 months for fingernails and between 9 and 12 months for toenails.
A review of the treatment is recommended after 3 months. See a doctor if your symptoms worsen or do not improve after 6 months of use for fingernails and 9 to 12 months for toenails.
