Description
Daktarin (Miconazole) Aktiv Cream – 30g
Daktarin Aktiv Cream is a medicated antifungal cream used to treat athlete’s foot (tinea pedis). It contains miconazole nitrate, which works to clear the fungal infection whilst also soothing and moisturising the affected skin.
⸻
How It Works
Miconazole nitrate belongs to a group of medicines called azole antifungals. It works by damaging the cell membranes of the fungi causing the infection, preventing them from growing and multiplying. Miconazole also has antibacterial properties, helping to tackle any secondary bacterial infections that can occur alongside athlete’s foot.
⸻
Directions for Use
Apply the cream to the affected area of skin twice daily, morning and evening. Continue treatment for 10 days after symptoms have cleared to prevent the infection returning. Wash and dry the feet thoroughly before applying the cream, paying particular attention to the areas between the toes. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
