Reviewed By Dr Aneela Siddabathuni , MPharma., PhD

Amortas Medicated Nail Lacquer 2.5 ml is used to treat fungal nail and skin infections. It contains Amorolfine, which works by stopping the production of a chemical called ergosterol in fungi that causes nail infections. Without ergosterol, the fungus cannot survive. As a result, it kills infection-causing fungi. It may cause common side effects, such as dry skin, itching, redness, or a burning sensation on the skin. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
