About Rejuvenail

 

What is Rejuvenail? 1

Rejuvenail is a water-soluble formulation containing the active ingredient ciclopirox. It is painted onto the fingernails or toenails to treat mild to moderate fungal nail infections. Ciclopirox belongs to a family of medicines called anti fungals. These medicines work by killing a wide variety of fungi that cause nail infections.

Fungal nail infections are hard to treat and a full cure depends on several factors, including how badly damaged the nail is. While Rejuvenail can treat the fungal nail infection it cannot repair the damage, therefore a full cure can be expected in up to 30% of people.

How do I use Rejuvenail? 1

To be applied once daily.

  1. Before applying Rejuvenail ensure that any nail polish is removed. Wash and dry the infected nail. Application in the evening before going to bed is recommended as the treated nails should not be washed for at least 6 hours. In the case of unintentional removal by washing, Rejuvenail can be reapplied.
  2. Apply a thin layer over the entire nail surface of the infected nail and 5 mm of surrounding skin and if possible under the free edge of the nail.
  3. Allow to dry for at least 30 seconds.
  4. Leave on the nail for at least 6 hours overnight and simply wash off with water in the morning.
  5. Filing is not required. Do not apply cosmetic nail polish or other nail medication on the nails being treated for the duration of the treatment with Rejuvenail.

How long should Rejuvenail be used for? 1

Treatment should continue until a healthy nail has regrown. This usually takes about 6 months for the fingernails and about 9 to 12 months for the toenails. Nails grow slowly, about 2 to 3 mm per month for fingernails and 1 mm per month for toenails, so do not be disappointed if there is no visible improvement after a few weeks. Fungal nail infections are hard to treat and a full cure depends on several factors, including how badly damaged the nail is.

While Rejuvenail can treat the fungal nail infection it cannot repair the damage, therefore a full cure can be expected in up to 30% of people. It is important to continue treatment until nails are clear otherwise the condition can get worse again. You should consult your doctor if your symptoms worsen or do not improve after 6 months for fingernails and 12 months for toenails.
