Special instructions

A file used on affected nails should not be used on healthy nails.
During treatment, the use of decorative nail polish and false artificial nails should be avoided.
Avoid contact of varnish with eyes, ears and mucous membranes.
The product contains ethanol, so applying it too often and incorrectly can lead to irritation or dryness of the skin around the nail.

The wipe contains a highly flammable substance.
Persons working with organic solvents (including paint thinners, gasoline, kerosene) should wear sealed gloves to protect nail polish.
To prevent the varnish from drying out, close the lid tightly after use. To prevent the lid from sticking, avoid getting varnish on the threads.

If the application of varnish is missed, you should not apply an excessive amount of it in several layers; it is enough to continue treatment according to the instructions for use.
Do not dispose of the remaining product at a water or household waste disposal site.
Patients with conditions predisposing to the development of fungal nail infections (poor peripheral circulation, diabetes mellitus, immunodeficiency), as well as patients with nail dystrophy, are advised to consult a doctor before using the drug.
If more than 2/3 of the nail plate is damaged or fungal, you should also consult a doctor to prescribe concomitant oral therapy.
