Nailon Nail Lacquer 5 ml contains ‘ciclopirox’ is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent with additional antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities, primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin such as ringworm, jock itch and athlete’s foot, seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on the face, scalp, chest, upper back or ears), fungal infections of the fingernails and toenails (an infection that may cause nail discolouration, splitting, and pain) and pityriasis (a type of skin rash that causes scaly, discoloured patches on chest, back, legs and arms). It works by stopping the growth of fungus. It causes membrane instability by accumulating inside fungal cells and interfering with protein transport across the fungal cell membrane. Thus, Nailon Nail Lacquer 5 ml clears fungal infections and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling, and itching of the skin caused due to infections.
