Penlac Nail Lacquer

Ciclopirox Nail Fungus Medication

Penlac is billed as the only FDA approved topical treatment for nail fungus. unlike some other prescription only medication Penlac is not taken internally but more of a brush on solution.

Penlac is aimed at mild to moderate cases of toenail and fingernail fungus infection. In its marketing material the advertsing people take a side swipe at some of its competitors by revealing that Penlac is more of a targeted solution by treateing the problem area rather than the whole body. Although this is true for this reason Penlac is probably the least effective of the prescribed nail fungus medications.

How Does Penlac Work

Penlac Nail Lacquer looks not unlike a bottle of nail varnish - a screw of lid with brush attached is effective for applying the lacquer to the infected area.

Who Should Not Apply Penlac Nail Lacquer

As with most prescription only drugs there are patient groups who should not use the medication. A physician should review a patients medical history completely before prescribing. Anyone with diabetes or a immune system weakness should not consider using Penlac. Similarily anyone uses a steroid inhaler (asthmatics) may not be able to use Penlac.

Side Effects Of Penlac

The health risks associated with Penlac are not quite as severe as some of its competitors in the prescription only market but nonetheless very real.

Some not so serious side effects are mils burning, itching or a tingling sensation. Other side effects are more serious include - swelling in facial areas such as lips, mouth, thoat or tongue. In some cases hives and a bad rash may occur.

As with all medication nver take more than the stated dosage.

It is also advised that cosmetics be avoided on the toenails and fingernails during the course of the treatment so not to interfere with the process.

Is Penlac Nail Lacquer Effective

Penlac is effective, but only for mild to moderate cases. As this medication is external a very slight lifestyle change is needed so as to not rub off any of the topical sultion after application.
