How It Works

Miconazole, the active ingredient in Daktarin Cream, works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane. It interferes with the production of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell walls, thereby preventing fungal growth and causing cell death.

Dosage

Apply a thin layer of Daktarin Cream to the affected area 2-3 times daily. Continue treatment for 1-2 weeks after symptoms disappear to ensure complete eradication of the fungal infection. Clean and dry the affected area before application.

Duration of Action

Noticeable improvement typically occurs within 3-7 days of consistent use. Complete resolution of fungal infections may take 2-4 weeks, depending on the severity and type of infection.

Side Effects

Potential side effects include mild skin irritation, temporary burning or stinging sensation, and rare allergic reactions. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if severe irritation or allergic response occurs.

Warnings

Avoid using Daktarin Cream on open wounds or broken skin. Do not use in the eyes or mouth. If the infection does not improve after 2 weeks of treatment, consult a healthcare professional.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using Daktarin 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 treatments
