Nailon 5 mL Nail Lacquer

Nailon 5 mL Nail Lacquer contains ciclopirox 5 mL per bottle and is an antifungal medicine used for certain fungal nail infections. Ciclopirox works by interfering with the fungus so it cannot grow and spread normally. The Nailon 5 mL Nail Lacquer format is applied directly to the affected nail, which helps deliver medicine right where the infection is located. It is used to treat mild to moderate fungal nail disease, not simple nail discoloration from other causes.

How it works: Ciclopirox stops fungi from using the materials they need to survive and multiply, which helps the infection slowly improve as the nail grows out. In lacquer form, Nailon 5 mL Nail Lacquer leaves a thin medicated layer on the nail so the active ingredient can stay in contact with the infected area.

Nailon 5 mL Nail Lacquer is a single-strength topical product, so there are no other listed strengths or forms in this brand range to compare it with. Because it is applied locally rather than taken by mouth, it is suited for patients who need targeted treatment on the nail and may want to avoid systemic antifungal exposure. A doctor may choose this form when the infection is limited to the nail and long-term daily application is appropriate.

• Treatment of fungal toenail infection
• Treatment of fungal fingernail infection
• Adjunct therapy for mild to moderate onychomycosis
• Local antifungal treatment for infected nails

• Apply Nailon 5 mL Nail Lacquer only to clean, dry nails as directed by your doctor.
• Use the lacquer in a thin, even layer over the entire affected nail and the skin just around the nail if instructed.
• Let the lacquer dry fully before putting on socks, shoes, or gloves.
• Follow the prescribed schedule consistently; this medicine works best when used every day as directed.
• Do not use it on broken skin, eyes, mouth, or inside the nose.
• If your doctor tells you to remove old layers, follow those instructions before the next application.

Each bottle of Nailon 5 mL Nail Lacquer provides 5 mL of ciclopirox lacquer, which is a treatment amount rather than a fixed oral dose. The exact frequency of application and total duration are decided by the prescriber based on the nail infection and how it is responding, and patients should not exceed the schedule their doctor gives them. Because this is a topical nail lacquer, the amount used on each application is typically small and the bottle may last for multiple applications.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
