NUVAIL Rx

Indication(s):

For managing signs/symptoms of nail dystrophy (eg, nail splitting, fragility) for intact or damaged nails.

Pharmacology:

Nuvail coats and adheres to the nail surface preventing direct abrasion and friction on the nail surface while also providing protection against the effects of moisture. The product is a biocompatible, polymeric solution which forms a uniform film when applied to the nail. The product is dispersed in a noncytotoxic solution which dries rapidly, adhering to the contours of the nail to form a flexible, waterproof barrier. The film will wear off naturally and must be re-applied as directed to be effective. The film is colorless, transparent and possesses good moisture vapor permeability.

Legal Classification:

Rx

Adults:

Apply to affected nail(s) once daily before bedtime. Allow product to dry completely before applying pads or clothing. Clean affected nails with nail polish remover once a week.

Warnings/Precautions:

Product is flammable. Do not allow product to come in contact with floors, countertops, furniture, or other finished surfaces; will stain. Persons sensitized to isocyanate: do not use. Discontinue if redness or irritation occurs.

Interaction(s)
