Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

No interaction studies have been performed.

Use of artificial nails should be avoided during treatment.

Pregnancy and lactation

Experience with amorolfine use during pregnancy and/or lactation is limited. Only a few cases of exposure to topical amorolfine use in pregnant women have been reported in the post-authorisation setting, therefore the potential risk is unknown. Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity at high oral doses; it is unknown whether amorolfine is excreted in human milk. Amorolfine should not be used during pregnancy and/or lactation unless clearly necessary.

Effects on ability to drive and use machines
