FAQs
How long does it take to clear the nail infection?
Emrolfin Cream takes a few days or weeks to clear up the infection. Clearing up an infection refers to the improvement of the symptoms of the infection. On the other hand, it may take at least 6 months to cure the fingernail infection and 9-12 months to cure toenails. Curing of the infection takes longer because a nail infection gets cured only after the infected nail is naturally replaced by a new nail.
Can I stop taking Emrolfin Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
You may notice some improvement in your symptoms, but do not stop taking Emrolfin Cream before completing the full course of treatment, even if you feel better. However, you must inform your doctor if the infection does not clear up even after 5 days of treatment.
