Fungal nail infections, what are they and how do you get rid of them?

Fungal nail infection (also known as onychomycosis) refers to an infection of the toe or finger nails by fungi (dermatophytes). The prevalence is estimated between 20-25% of the population. It is important to treat fungal nail infection as soon as possible because the infection is contagious.

In most cases fungal nail infections tend to look unhygienic. The infection usually starts at the rim of the nail, which changes colour to whitish-yellow, brown or green. The fungus grows under or into the nail causing the nail plate to thicken and crumble. Sometimes the nail becomes partially or completely detached, which may be painful. In some cases the nail will completely release from the toe or finger.

Nails are infected by fungus due to nail (sports)trauma, excessive moisture, heat, perspiration or poor foot hygiene.

Fungi are therefore typically found in bathrooms, dressing rooms and showers within sports clubs, around swimming pools and saunas. In instances of athlete's foot (this is a different kind of fungus that can be found on top of the skin between the toes) there is a chance of contamination and this fungus can also lead to fungal nail infections.

How do you know you have a fungal nail infection?

It's not always easy to confirm, but there are a number of common symptoms that point it that direction:

• Discolouration of the nail rims (yellow, brown or green) and/or white spots on the nail.
• Full dis-colouration of the nail from whitish-yellow to yellowish-brown.
• Hardening and thickening of the nail.

Is this product suitable for use by diabetics?

Excilor® physically impedes the growth of infectious fungi by reducing the pH value of the nail (making it more acidic). This is not a pharmacological effect so there are no contraindications for diabetics. A combination of acidic substances penetrates the nail creating an environment that is hostile to dermatophytes (the fungi responsible for mycosis). The action is localised and targeted. Nonetheless it is recommended that diabetics with foot problems consult their doctor when starting to use Excilor nail fungus treatment (including ULTRA).

My nail has a fungal infection.How long will it take to eliminate the fungus?

As explained on the packaging the product should be applied to the affected nail(s) twice a day until the nail has grown back as a normal healthy nail. By then the patches and/or spots should have disappeared or the nail is no longer thickened or brittle.

A nail only grows about 1.5 mm a month. Excilor® not only makes the white/yellow patches on your nail disappear. More importantly – it gets rid of the actual micro-organisms (the dermatophytes or fungi) which live under your fingernail or toenail. It can take several weeks to make all the micro-organisms disappear. Meanwhile the healthy nail grows back and if you regularly trim the nail using nail clippers the dis-colouration will gradually vanish.

Is this product suitable for children?

No clinical data is available on whether Excilor can be used by children.

Is this product suitable when pregnant?

No clinical data is available on the use of this product during pregnancy.

My child put the Excilor® product in his/her mouth. What should I do?

The product's contents are not toxic but may irritate the mucous lining of the eyes, nose or mouth. The product cannot be opened so children cannot access the contents directly. Because Excilor® has a bitter taste your child is unlikely to swallow or ingest it deliberately. If the product comes into contact with the eyes or inside of the mouth, rinse them out using plenty of water.

The instructions advised me to “clean the nail and remove any traces of nail polish” before each application. Can I simply clean the nail with soap and water or should I always use nail polish remover?

You only have to use nail polish remover if the nail is covered with nail polish. If Excilor® is used on nail polish it can partially dissolve the nail polish – this in turn contaminates the product so it no longer works properly. Excilor® is unable to penetrate nail polish as effectively. It is important that nail polish is removed using nail polish remover so Excilor® can penetrate the nail and reach the infected area.

Like all medicines, Excilor Ultra Nail Fungus Treatment - Extra Strong can cause side effects, however, this may be less likely.

• If you experience irritation, stop using it.
• Do not use it if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.

Consult a doctor, if you are a diabetic or suffer from poor circulation.

If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, our Rightdose pharmacists or nurse. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet.

You can help to make medicines safer by reporting any side-effects to the Yellow Card Scheme at www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard.

Excilor was specifically developed to treat fungal nail infections and is based on 3 principles:

• Effective mode of action: Excilor changes the pH level inside the nail, creating a hostile environment for fungi (dermatophytes). This inhibits further growth of the fungi and damage to the nail.
• Superior and complete nail penetration: Excilor immediately reaches the fungi providing healthy re-growth of the nail. Product dries within seconds without leaving a visible film.
• Convenience: Excilor is simple to apply and there is no need to file the nail. Effective treatment requires compliance to the treatment regime: once a day after showering, in total 1 minute a day.

Apply 1x every 24 hours (best after shower).

Directions:

1. Clean the nail and, if wearing nail polish, remove completely before using Excilor ULTRA.
2. Use the brush to coat the whole nail. Make sure you apply Excilor ULTRA generously.
3. Allow the nail to dry (3 to 5 minutes) before putting on socks and/or shoes. When dry, if desired, the layer can be covered with nail varnish. The layer is water resistant.
4. The TransActive+ Technology delivers complete penetration for 24 hour effect in the nail, for subsequent healthy re-growth of the nail.
5. After 24 hours - before reapplying, remove the old layer. This is easily done by starting to peel off the film in an inside corner and gently remove the film. Easiest under warm water / in the shower. Takes few seconds. 

Why treat fungal nail infections?

Fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) is a progressive disease. If it is left untreated the infection spreads.

Initially you may only see white spots or patches on the nail. They only affect the cosmetic appearance of the nail and initially there is no pain.

If your nail is showing symptoms it is important to take immediate action as the fungus will gradually spread throughout the nail. If left untreated you will run the risk of the nail becoming brittle and a possibility that you may lose the nail. The infection can spread between fingernails and toenails and from one person to another.

For external use only.
