Penlac® is applied directly to the site of infection
Penlac® is applied directly to the infected nail. This means that the active ingredient in Penlac®,
called ciclopirox, builds up in the layers of your nail as you apply it each day, focusing the proven antifungal
medication where it is most effective.
Some systemic medications, such as those taken orally, could have serious side effects as they interact with a greater
area of your body. Penlac® is concentrated in one area and has been proven safe. There are no laboratory blood tests
required prior to beginning treatment. This makes Penlac® an optimal treatment for those who wish or need to avoid systemic
treatments (as advised by your doctor) or those on multiple medications.
