Emtrix

Emtrix also contains sodium hydroxide and Aqua (Emtrix) as excipients. It is a clear, colourless, non-sterile topical solution supplied in a plastic tube with a silicone drop tip to facilitate application to the nail. Emtrix is free from preservatives and fragrances. The ingredients are fully biodegradable.

Emtrix promotes healing of discoloured and deformed nails, cracked and brittle nails, resulting from fungal infection or psoriasis.

Emtrix improves the appearance of nails and keeps them in good condition with first signs normally being seen after 2-4 weeks of treatment.*

*8 weeks clinical study, JCDSA 2011: Vol 1, No.3.

Apply Emtrix once daily to affected nails, preferably in the evening just before bedtime. Hold the point of the tube onto the nail. Press lightly on the tube and spread out the solution with the point. Cover each nail with a thin layer of the solution. It is important that the solution is also applied under the free edge of any affected nails. After application, the nail should be allowed to dry for a few minutes.

Clinical signs of improvement may be seen after 2-4 weeks of treatment. Duration of treatment varies according to the initial severity of the condition, but in many cases 3-6 months treatment may be required to achieve satisfactory results. For optimal results, continue the treatment until a normal nail has grown out.

Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of Emtrix.

Transient minor irritation of the skin immediately adjacent to the nail and discolouration of the nail can be expected to occur in some patients. In addition, loosening/separation of the nail from the underlying nail bed (onycholysis) may occur, including detachment of the affected part of the nail.
