If you have diabetes, it is important to talk to your health care professional about nail care. The most common side effects are redness around nails, nail shape change, irritation, ingrown toenail and discoloration. Removal of the unattached, infected nail, as frequently as monthly, by your health care professional is needed with use of Penlac Nail Lacquer (ciclopirox) to obtain maximal benefit with use of this product. If you have diabetes or problems with numbness in your toes or fingers, talk to your health care provider before trimming your nails or removing any nail material. Inform your health care professional if the area of application shows signs of increased irritation (redness, itching, burning, blistering, swelling, oozing). Up to 48 weeks of daily application with Penlac Nail Lacquer (ciclopirox) and professional removal, as frequently as monthly, of the unattached, infected nail, are considered the full treatment time to achieve a clear or almost clear nail (defined as 10% or less residual nail involvement). Six months of therapy with professional removal of the unattached, infected nail may be required before initial improvement of symptoms is noticed. A completely clear nail may not be achieved with use of Penlac Nail Lacquer (ciclopirox). In clinical studies less than 12% of patients were able to achieve either a clear or almost clear toenail. Do not use nail polish or other cosmetic products on the treated nails. Avoid use near heat or open flame, because product is flammable.
