Daktarin Gel 40gm

Miconazole is an antifungal medication that belongs to a class of drugs called fungal ergosterol synthesis inhibitors containing the active ingredient Miconazole. It is used to treat fungal skin infections. It can also be used to treat various skin infections, such as athlete’s foot (an infection that affects the feet), jock itch (an infection that affects the groin and inner thigh), and infected nappy rash.

This drug is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to it or its component. Miconazole effects can be increased by keeping the affected area clean and dry, as well as washing hands before and after treatment. If you have an athlete’s foot, thoroughly wash your socks or tights and, if possible, replace your shoes regularly. Other drugs taken by mouth or injection are unlikely to interfere with how this medicine works. However, consult your doctor if you have recently used any other steroid-containing medicine or have had an allergic reaction to other antifungal medications.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use this drug only if your doctor advises. Avoid getting the gel in your nose, eyes, or mouth. In case of accidental exposure, immediately rinse the affected area with plenty of water and consult a physician or a dermatologist if any irritation or adverse reactions occur. Miconazole can be used for children, and infants aged four months and above, but it’s important to use the appropriate strength and follow the dosing instructions recommended by a pediatrician.
