General Product Information
Fungal infections inject themselves into our lives by being both
uncomfortable and inconvenient at once. If there's one thing that
can ruin a perfectly good outdoor vacation, it's suddenly getting
unwanted, persistent itches in one's extremities. If you wish to
save yourself the hassle of suffering through a whole season of
athlete's foot, make sure to pack Daktarin Cream.
Daktarin Cream does not only get rid of fungal infections, but also
bacterial infections. Its antibacterial properties are responsible
for it becoming a good defense against skin infections of all
types. For one thing, they make it difficult for fungal conditions
to return, once the antifungal trait of the drug has done away with
them. Athlete's foot (also known as tinea pedis) is the least of
your worries, if this product is within your reach; after Daktarin
Cream has healed the sore, cracked skin, it also prevents athlete's
foot from settling in the same place.
For best results, this product is applied regularly - once or twice
daily, depending on the instructions for each specific condition.
It usually takes 1-2 weeks for treatment to be completed, but after
this, it is unlikely that the infection will return soon on the
treated areas.
The active ingredient in Daktarin Cream is miconazole nitrate. It
kills fungi by preventing the generation of a chemical called
ergosterol. Fungal cell membranes need ergosterol. the absence of
this substance causes holes to appear in the membrane, through
which essential components of the fungal cell can leak out. Without
a strong membrane to keep its cellular components together, a
fungal infection quickly disperses in this method.
The following is a list of some common infections that may be
treated by Daktarin Cream:
1. ringworm on the hands, scalp, or any other part of the body
2. cutaneous candidiasis - a skin infection caused by Candida
albicans, a yeast-like fungus
3. fungal nappy rash, caused by diapers left unchanged for too
long
4. groin infections such as dhobie itch (jock itch)
5. intertrigo (sweat rash)
6. stomatitis angularis
7. perianal infections
8. balanoposthitis
Daktarin Cream comes in a number of preparations, such as Daktarin
Dual Action Cream, Daktarin Aktiv, Daktacort Hydrocortisone Cream,
and Daktarin Gold. The difference is spelled out in the components
that are added to the miconazole nitrate. Daktacort Hydrocortisone,
as the name suggests, contains hydrocortisone acetate, a topical
steroid that is effective in fighting sweat rash. Daktarin Gold, on
the other hand, contains ketoconazole, potent against jock itch and
sweat rash that is infected with candida. Research has shown that
the effects of Daktarin Gold can last up to eight weeks.
This product may be popularly known as a cream, but it is also
found in spray and powder form. Accidental contact with the eyes
and the mouth should be avoided. However, this drug also has a
version that is safe to be taken orally, called the Daktarin Oral
Gel. This gel is a white, sugar-free ointment that is specially
formulated to treat mouth and throat infections. If the infection
happens to be inside or on the mouth, the gel must be allowed to
stay in the mouth for as long as possible. Not to worry, however:
this preparation comes with a pleasant orange flavor, so you don't
have to put up with a bitter ointment taste.
As with the cream and powder versions, the gel is also taken
regularly; adults should take 1-2 spoonfuls 4 times a day. Children
over the age of 6 may take 1 spoonful, also 4 times a day. Children
under the age of 2, however, should only take half a spoonful twice
daily.
Pregnant and nursing mothers should consult their doctors before
taking the gel. The cream or powder preparations may be generally
safe for external use by pregnant or nursing mothers, but
miconazole has been known to pass into breastmilk, so nursing
mothers may wish to take extra care when applying this product,
especially in the breast area.
It is highly unlikely that the topical and ingestible preparations
of Daktarin will conflict with other medications. However, if you
are taking warfarin to prevent blood clots, there is a very slight
risk that using Daktarin Cream simultaneously will enhance the
effects of warfarin. Your doctor may need to monitor your
blood-clotting time or INR during and after the time you are
regularly applying the cream.
