The Canesten extra nail set is used in the therapy of nail fungus and results are already visible after 1 to 2 weeks. This is possible due to the combination of medicinal substances in the ointment contained. The urea contained softens the affected nail so that it can be gradually removed. The second active ingredient, bifonazole, then fights the fungi. After 2 weeks, the affected nail is further treated with a cream containing bifonazole, e.g. Canesten extra cream (not in the set).
Application:
The cream containing the active ingredient is applied to the affected nail and covered with the included plaster. After approx. 24 hours, the plaster can be removed and the softened, infested nail can be removed with the included spatula. This is repeated daily over a period of 14 days. Afterwards, the infected nail should only be treated with a cream containing bifonazole, e.g. Canesten extra cream (not included in the set).

How to use?
Apply the medicine to the affected nail(s). Then stick the plaster over the nail for 24 hours. To change the dressing daily, soak the fingers or toes in warm water for approx. 10 minutes and then scrape off the softened nail substance with a spatula. After drying, apply ointment again and stick on a plaster.
Duration of application?
The duration of application depends on the type of symptoms and/or the course of the disease. General duration of treatment: 7-14 days. After nail detachment, further treatment with a fungicide is necessary.
Overdose?
No overdose symptoms are known. If in doubt, consult your doctor.
Forgotten application?
Continue the application at the next prescribed time as normal (i.e. not with double the amount).
As a general rule: Pay particular attention to conscientious dosing for infants, small children and older people. If in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist about any effects or precautions.
A dosage prescribed by a doctor may differ from the information on the package leaflet. As the doctor will adjust it individually, you should therefore use the medicine according to his instructions.
Dosage
All ages a sufficient amount once a day regardless of the time of day
There are various pathogens that can cause a disease. Only the doctor can decide whether the medicine is effective against the infection in question.
- Nail fungus, where it is necessary to detach the infected nail
How do the ingredients of the medicine work?
The medicine consists of an active ingredient combination of bifonazole and urea.
Bifonazole acts against fungal diseases. The active ingredient damages the outer shell, the so-called cell membrane of fungi. This envelope thus loses some of its functions, e.g. it becomes more impermeable to nutrients - the cell starves, or cell components leak out and the cell dissolves. Depending on the concentration of the active ingredient, the fungi are inhibited in their growth and reproduction or killed directly. The active ingredient is also effective against certain bacteria.
Urea provides the skin with more moisture and allows it to retain it for longer. As a result, the upper horny layer softens and the skin becomes smoother and softer. The horny plate of the nail can also be softened and gradually removed. The addition of urea enables the active ingredient bifonazole to penetrate from the surface of the skin into the deeper layers.
