Your doctor will tell you how much medicine to use. Do not use more than directed.
Read and follow the patient instructions that come with this medicine. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Wash your hands before and after using the cream, gel, or ointment.
Use this medicine only on the skin, scalp, fingernails, or toenails. Do not get any in your eyes, mouth, or vagina. If it does get on these areas, rinse it off right away.
Use enough ciclopirox to cover the infected area and the skin around it. Rub the cream, gel, or ointment in gently. Apply the nail lacquer using the brush that came with your medicine.
Topical application routeDo not cover the treated area with a bandage unless directed by your doctor.
If you are using ciclopirox on the groin (crotch) area, wear loose cotton underwear. You may use talcum powder on your skin between the times you use ciclopirox.
The nail lacquer is flammable. Do not use it near heat or an open flame.
You may need to use the nail lacquer for up to 6 months before seeing any improvement in your nail infection. It may take up to one year of treatment for your nails to clear completely.
Take all of the medicine in your prescription to clear up your infection, even if you feel better after the first few doses.
If you are using ciclopirox on your feet, dry them carefully, especially between the toes, after bathing. If you cannot go barefoot, wear clean cotton socks. Avoid socks made from wool, rayon, or nylon. Wear sandals or shoes that allow air to get to your feet. Use talcum powder between your toes and sprinkle some in your socks and shoes once or twice daily.
