Curanail is a pharmacy nail lacquer containing amorolfine 5%, for mild fungal nail infection in adults. You apply it once a week to the affected nails, and it keeps releasing antifungal medicine between applications. It’s for infection at the tip or sides of up to 2 nails, not reaching the base.
It contains the same medicine as Loceryl and generic amorolfine lacquer. Expect about 6 months of treatment for fingernails and 9 to 12 months for toenails. See your GP if it hasn’t improved after 3 months.
See our fungal nail treatment page and our fungal nail treatments compared guide to compare the options.

| Legal category | Pharmacy medicine (P) |
| How to apply | Once a week |
| Course | 6 months (fingernails), 9 to 12 months (toenails) |
| Best suited to | Mild infection, up to 2 nails |

Apply once a week, on the same day each week.
First, file the infected area of the nail down as far as comfortably possible using one of the disposable files supplied. Use these files only on infected nails, and never on healthy ones, to avoid spreading the infection.
Clean and degrease the nail surface with one of the alcohol swabs provided.
Using one of the reusable applicators, apply the lacquer evenly across the whole nail surface and let it dry for around three minutes.
Clean the applicator with the same swab afterwards and replace the cap tightly, as the lacquer dries out quickly if left open.
Before the next weekly application, remove the old lacquer with an alcohol swab and file the nail again.
Keep going for the full course. Stopping as soon as the nail looks better is the most common reason the infection comes back.
Mild fungal nail infection at the tip or sides of up to 2 nails, in adults.
