AMLUCK CREAM
Product Description
AMLUCK CREAM tablet contains AMOROLFINE, a topical antifungal medicine primarily used for fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) and certain superficial fungal skin infections, depending on the dosage form prescribed. It belongs to the morpholine antifungal class and works by damaging the fungal cell membrane, which stops fungal growth and clears infection gradually as healthy nail or skin regrows. AMLUCK CREAM tablet is commonly available as 5% nail lacquer and 0.25% cream/lotion formulations, with the exact strength and duration based on the site and severity of infection. Regular and prolonged use is important because nail infections improve slowly and may require several months of therapy for visible healthy nail growth.
Pharmacist Note
Use AMLUCK CREAM tablet exactly as prescribed and continue for the full recommended duration even if the nail starts looking better early. Before nail application, trim and gently file the affected nail, keep the area dry, and avoid cosmetic nail polish or artificial nails during treatment. If irritation, severe redness, or allergy develops, stop use and consult your doctor.

Details
Benefits
Amorolfine is prescribed to treat fungal infections affecting the nails and skin.
How It Works
Amorolfine is an antifungal agent that stops fungi from producing ergosterol, a vital part of their cell membranes. Without ergosterol, the fungal cells can’t survive, and the infection clears gradually as healthy nail tissue grows back.
Side Effects
Some possible side effects of Amorolfine include reactions at the application site, such as burning, irritation, itching, or redness.
Expert's Advice
Amorolfine can effectively treat fungal infections of the nails when used correctly. Here are some tips:
- Avoid Sensitive Areas: Keep Amorolfine away from your eyes, ears, and mouth. Rinse with water immediately if accidental contact occurs.
- Skip Nail Polish: Do not use nail varnish, artificial nails, or share nail files during treatment to avoid spreading the infection.
- Extended Use: Continue applying Amorolfine for 3-5 days after symptoms disappear to reduce the chance of recurrence.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Avoid using Amorolfine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, unless recommended by your doctor.
