workings
Amorolfine 0.25% is a topical antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the nails, also known as onychomycosis. It works by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of the fungus that causes the infection.
The active ingredient in Amorolfine is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that belongs to the class of compounds called allylamines. It works by interfering with the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. This leads to the disruption of fungal cell membrane function and ultimately the death of the fungus.
Amorolfine is applied to the affected nails in the form of a nail lacquer, which allows the medication to penetrate through the nail plate and reach the site of infection. It is important to use the medication as directed by a healthcare provider and to continue treatment until the infection is fully resolved, even if symptoms improve.
