Curanail (Amorolfine) is a prescription medication used to treat a wide range of nail infections caused by dermatophytes, yeasts and moulds. The active ingredient in Curanail is Amorolfine. Amorolfine belongs to the class of medication called antifungal. It works by causing holes to appear in the fungal cell membranes. This allows essential constituents of the fungal cells to leak out, which kills the fungi and ultimately clears up the infection.
