COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Ciclopirox,
Penlac, Batrafen, Loprox, Mycoster,Stieprox.
For use on fingernails, toenails
and immediately adjacent skin only.
Not for use in the eyes.
USES: Ciclopirox (Generic Penlac) is used to
treat fungal infections of the fingernails and
toenails. It is used as part of a treatment program
that includes the removal of unattached, infected
nails by a health care professional as frequently
as once a month. Ciclopirox works by stopping the
growth of fungus.
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet
if available from your pharmacist before you start
using ciclopirox and each time you get a refill.
If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Before starting treatment, remove
any loose nail material using nail clippers or
a file. If you have diabetes or numbness in your
fingers/toes, talk to your doctor before filing
or trimming your nails. It may be safer for your
doctor to file or remove your nails.
Apply ciclopirox as directed by your
doctor, usually once daily at bedtime. Using the
applicator provided, apply this medication evenly
over the entire affected nail and to the area of
the skin next to the nail (5 millimeters or 1/5
of an inch around the nail). If the applicator
can reach the undersurface of the nail and the
skin under the nail, apply the medication to those
areas as well. Avoid contact with skin that is
not right next to the affected nail. Do not use
nail cosmetic products (such as nail polish) on
the treated nails.
Do not apply Ciclopirox in the eyes,
nose, or mouth, or inside the vagina. If you do
get the medication in those areas, rinse with plenty
of water.
Let Ciclopirox dry (around 30 seconds)
before putting on socks or stockings. Do not wash
the treated area for at least 8 hours.
Every 7 days, remove the medication
from the nail by applying alcohol. Then trim the
nail and file away any loose nail material.
Use Ciclopirox (Generic Penlac) regularly
in order to get the most benefit from it. To help
you remember, use it at the same time each day.
Continue to use for the full time
prescribed, even if symptoms disappear. Stopping
the medication too early may result in a return
of the infection.
Tell your doctor if your condition
worsens or does not improve after 6 months of treatment.
It may take up to one year for the nail to be clear
or almost clear.
SIDE EFFECTS: Redness/burning
of treated skin or changes in shape/color of nail
may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen,
tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed
Ciclopirox (Generic Penlac) because he or she has

or pharmacist can often prevent or manage interactions
by changing how you use your medications or by
close monitoring.
