FAQs
Answers to popular questions about Loceryl Nail Lacquer
What is Loceryl Nail Lacquer?
Loceryl Nail Lacquer is a medicated nail polish containing amorolfine 5%, used to treat fungal nail infections (onychomycosis). It is manufactured by Galderma and is available both as a prescription-only medicine and as a pharmacy (P) medicine in the UK. Loceryl is applied directly to the affected nails once or twice weekly and works by penetrating the nail plate to kill the fungi causing the infection. It is suitable for treating mild to moderate fungal nail infections that affect up to two nails and no more than two-thirds of the nail plate.
How does Loceryl Nail Lacquer work?
Amorolfine, the active ingredient in Loceryl, is a morpholine antifungal that works by inhibiting two key enzymes in the fungal cell membrane: delta-14 reductase and delta-7–8 isomerase. This disrupts the production of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane, causing the membrane to become unstable and the fungal cell to die. The lacquer formulation allows amorolfine to penetrate through the nail plate to reach the infection underneath, creating high local concentrations of the drug.
How do I apply Loceryl Nail Lacquer?
Apply Loceryl once or twice weekly following these steps: (1) File the affected nail surface with the provided file to roughen and thin the nail, allowing better penetration. (2) Clean the nail surface with the provided swab (alcohol cleanser). (3) Apply the lacquer thinly over the entire affected nail using the spatula provided — do not use the same file or spatula on healthy nails. (4) Allow to dry for approximately 3–5 minutes. (5) Re-seal the bottle tightly. Do not use nail varnish remover between applications; remove old lacquer weekly using the provided swabs.
How long does Loceryl take to work?
Fungal nail treatment with Loceryl requires patience. Fingernail infections typically take 6 months of treatment, while toenail infections may take 9–12 months or longer — this is because nails grow slowly and the treatment must continue until the infected portion of nail has fully grown out. You should see healthy new nail growing from the base over time. Do not stop treatment early even if the nail looks improved, as the fungus may not be completely eliminated and the infection can return.
Can I wear nail varnish while using Loceryl?
It is generally best to avoid cosmetic nail varnish or gel/shellac nails while using Loceryl, as these create a barrier that may reduce the penetration of amorolfine into the nail. If you wish to wear nail varnish, apply it over the Loceryl lacquer once it has fully dried, but remove both layers before the next Loceryl application. Artificial nails (acrylics, gels) should not be used during treatment as they trap moisture and can worsen fungal infections.
What are the side effects of Loceryl?
Side effects from Loceryl Nail Lacquer are uncommon because it is applied topically to the nail with minimal systemic absorption. When side effects do occur, they are usually local and mild, including nail discolouration, brittle or broken nails, and burning sensation at the application site. Rarely, contact dermatitis (skin redness and itching around the nail) may develop. If you experience persistent or severe skin irritation, stop using Loceryl and consult your pharmacist or doctor.
Is Loceryl effective for all nail infections?
Loceryl is most effective for mild to moderate fungal nail infections that affect up to two nails and involve no more than two-thirds of the nail plate. It is less effective for severe infections that involve the nail matrix (root), thick or very discoloured nails, or infections affecting many nails. In these cases, oral antifungal treatment (such as terbinafine tablets) may be more appropriate. Your doctor can take a nail clipping to confirm fungal infection before starting treatment, as not all nail problems are caused by fungi.
How should I store Loceryl?
Store Loceryl Nail Lacquer below 25°C, away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use — the lacquer can thicken if exposed to air. Do not use Loceryl after the expiry date. Keep all nail files and applicators separate for infected and healthy nails to avoid spreading the infection. Dispose of used files regularly. Keep out of reach of children.
