Medicated varnish should be applied to the entire nail plate. Close the bottle tightly after each use.
Before starting treatment, we recommend removing any loose parts of diseased nails using nail clippers, a nail file or scissors.
Once a week, for the duration of the treatment, use a cosmetic dissolving solution to remove the film-forming layer on the surface of the nail, which could eventually hinder penetration of the active ingredient. At the same time, it is advisable to remove the free parts of the diseased nails.
Treatment should continue until clinical and mycological healing is complete, and healthy nails regrow.
Treatment usually lasts between 3 (finger onychomycosis) and 6 months (toe onychomycosis).
However, the duration of treatment should not exceed 6 months.
MYCOSTER is indicated for adults.
