Penlac Prescription Topical Nail Lacquer
Penlac Ciclopirox Nail Lacquer is an FDA approved topical treatment for both fingernail and toenail fungus.
Penlac is prescription only and cannot be purchased over the counter or online legitimately. If you wish to use Penlac then you must consult with your GP or doctor.
Penlac is focused towards mild or less severe nail infections and unlike a majority of the other prescription nail fungus medicines is not taken internally but brushed on.
How Does Penlac Work
The topicial solution is applied in a similar way to nail polish or nail varnish. The screw top contains a brush or applicator for the solution to be simply brushed on.
Before application remove any loose material that may be present under the infected nail or nails and clip your nails.
Apply the topical antifungal solution once a day evenly over the infected nail or nails, preferably at night before going to bed.
Ensure that the solution not only covers the top of the nail but also as much of the underside as possible and surrounding skin.
Allow the lacquer to dry (approximately 30 seconds) before putting on socks, stockings or footwear.
