Are there any side effects associated with URGO Filmogel® damaged nails?
In very rare cases, skin irritation may occur around the application area.
Any serious incident related to this product must be reported to URGO HEALTHCARE Laboratories and the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM).
How do you monitor progress with URGO Filmogel® damaged nails?
Apply the product until the trauma disappears and the nail has fully grown back. Results will not be visible immediately.
The earlier the condition is treated, the faster it resolves. Nails grows an average of 1 cm per quarter on the hands and 1/3 on the feet. Regrowth slows with age.
Improvement occurs in two stages:
1. Progression of the damage stops.
2. The nail grows back, pushing out the damaged portion, which will be removed with normal nail trimming.
If the damage has not resolved after 30 days, stop application for a few days to allow the nail to rest, then resume until the damage disappears.
Can URGO Filmogel® damaged nails be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Use is not contraindicated during pregnancy or breastfeeding, provided the conditions of use shown on the label are followed (instructions for use, precautions, etc.). If in doubt, consult a healthcare professional.
Is URGO Filmogel® damaged nails effective when swimming?
URGO Filmogel® damaged nails is water-soluble, so the film dissolves in water.
Reapply a layer of product after swimming, once the feet are dry.
