About Micogent Cream

Micogent Cream belongs to a class of dermatological medication ‘Topical Anti-Infectives' used to treat the skin's fungal and bacterial infections. Also, the Micogent Cream reduces swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain skin problems. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

Micogent Cream is a combination of two drugs: Gentamicin (antibiotic) and Miconazole (antifungal). Micogent Cream treat both fungal and bacterial infections of the skin. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that destroys bacteria by preventing important proteins needed by bacteria from being synthesized to perform vital functions. Miconazole is an antifungal that prevents fungi from developing by keeping them from forming their own protective coating. Together, the skin infection is successfully treated.

Micogent Cream is only for external use. Take a small amount of Micogent Cream on the finger and apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area. Avoid contact of Micogent Cream with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case Micogent Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience skin peeling, dry skin, thinning of the skin, itching, pain, swelling, redness, irritation, or burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of Micogent Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Micogent Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Do not use Micogent Cream in more than prescribed doses or for a prolonged time as it may cause adverse effects. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Micogent Cream. Micogent Cream is not recommended for children below 1 year of age. Avoid using Micogent Cream on damaged or broken skin or within skin folds. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with airtight dressings unless advised by a doctor. Avoid using Micogent Cream for more than 5 days in children and on the face. Do not swallow Micogent Cream. In case of accidental swallowing, consult a doctor immediately. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as Micogent Cream catches fire and burns easily. If you have rosacea (redness and often red, small, pus-filled bumps on the face), acne, perioral dermatitis (redness and swelling of the skin around the mouth), psoriasis, glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, adrenal gland or liver problems, genital itching or other skin problems, inform your doctor before taking Micogent Cream.
