Ciclopirox
One product sits on this shelf: Nailrox Nail Lacquer at 8%, a ciclopirox lacquer for treating Onychomycosis and Tinea Pedis. Ciclopirox is a synthetic antifungal that stops the growth of nail fungus.
Key points
- The lacquer is flammable: do not use it near heat or an open flame, such as a cigarette.
- It is indicated for mild to moderate nail fungus without lunula involvement, in people with a healthy immune system.
- Less than 5% of the applied dose enters the bloodstream, so systemic side effects are uncommon.
How long does ciclopirox take to work?
Ciclopirox acts on the surface of the nail, where it stops the fungus from growing. Because the lacquer must penetrate the nail plate, improvement can take 6 months or longer, and the medicine may not completely clear the infection. In clinical studies, fewer than 12% of patients achieved a completely clear or almost clear toenail. The lacquer is intended as part of a broader management plan for nail fungus.
