Daktacort Cream 15g (Miconazole)

Daktacort Cream is a combination antifungal and anti-inflammatory medication containing Hydrocortisone and Miconazole. It provides dual-action treatment for fungal skin infections with added relief from inflammation and associated symptoms.

Uses

Daktacort Cream is primarily used to treat fungal skin infections complicated by inflammation, such as those accompanied by redness, swelling, and intense itching. It is effective in managing conditions like athlete’s foot, jock itch, and other inflammatory fungal skin disorders.

Benefits

• Eliminates fungal infections rapidly

• Provides immediate symptom relief
• Stops fungal growth and reproduction
• Alleviates itching and discomfort
• Prevents spread of fungal infections
• Promotes healing of affected skin areas
• Combines antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties

How It Works

Miconazole attacks the fungal infection by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, while Hydrocortisone reduces inflammation by suppressing immune responses and constricting blood vessels in the affected area. This combination provides comprehensive treatment for inflammatory fungal skin conditions.

Dosage

Apply a thin layer of Daktacort Cream to the affected area 2-3 times daily. Treatment duration typically ranges from 7-14 days, depending on the severity of the infection. Continue treatment for 1-2 days after symptoms resolve to ensure complete eradication.

Duration of Action

Noticeable improvement usually occurs within 2-5 days of consistent use. Complete resolution of fungal infections and inflammation may take 1-2 weeks, varying based on the specific condition and individual response.

Side Effects

Potential side effects include mild skin irritation, temporary burning or stinging sensation, and rare allergic reactions. Long-term use may cause skin thinning or discoloration. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if severe irritation occurs.

Warnings

Avoid using Daktacort Cream on large areas of skin, open wounds, or for prolonged periods. Do not use in the eyes or mouth. Limit use to 7-14 days unless directed otherwise by a healthcare professional.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using Daktacort Cream. External application typically has minimal systemic absorption, but professional medical advice is recommended.

Interactions

• Minimal interactions with other topical medications
• Potential interference with latex-based products
• May affect local skin sensitivity
• Possible interactions with other antifungal or corticosteroid treatments
