NAILON NAIL LACQUER SOLUTION contains Ciclopirox, which belongs to the group of medicines called antifungals. It is used to manage mild to moderate fungal infections of fingernails and toenails without involvement of the nail lunula (the white half-moon of the nail) in patients with a normal immune response.
Fungal nail infections may cause nails to become thick, discoloured, fragile, cracked, and also separate from the nail bed.

Consult your doctor before using it.
