About Miconit-F Cream

Miconit-F Cream is a dermatological combination medicine used to treat fungal skin infections and their symptoms, such as swelling/inflammation, itching and redness. 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).

Miconit-F Cream is a combination of two drugs, namely: Fluocinolone acetonide (corticosteroid) and Miconazole nitrate (antifungal). Fluocinolone acetonide belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by preventing the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. On the other hand, Miconazole nitrate belongs to the class of antifungals that works by damaging the fungal cell membranes thereby killing the fungi.

Miconit-F Cream is for external use only. Use Miconit-F Cream as advised by your doctor. You are advised to use Miconit-F Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. Some people may experience dry skin, skin peeling, increased hair growth, pimples, patches of pale skin, itching, irritation, or a burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Miconit-F Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Miconit-F Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Miconit-F Cream. Do not use Miconit-F Cream in more than prescribed doses or for a prolonged time as it may cause adverse effects such as skin thinning, small visible veins, or stretch marks. Avoid using Miconit-F Cream for more than 5 days on the face. Do not apply Miconit-F Cream on open wounds, cuts, scrapes, or damaged skin. If you have rosacea (redness and often red, small, pus-filled bumps on the face), acne, perioral dermatitis (red, bumpy rash around the mouth), any skin infection, psoriasis, diabetes, liver or adrenal gland problems, inform your doctor before using Miconit-F Cream.

Uses of Miconit-F Cream

Fungal skin infections

Directions for Use

Miconit-F Cream is only for external use. Take a small amount of Miconit-F Cream on the finger and apply as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area and surrounding skin. Avoid contact of Miconit-F Cream with nose, mouth or eyes. In case Miconit-F Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Wash your hands before and after using Miconit-F Cream if hands are not the affected area to prevent the spread of infection.

Medicinal Benefits

Miconit-F Cream contains Fluocinolone acetonide and Miconazole nitrate used to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused due to fungal skin infections. Fluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid that acts inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Miconazole nitrate is an antifungal that damages the fungal cell membranes which are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents and kill fungi. Thereby, Miconit-F Cream clears fungal infections and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling, and itching of the skin caused due to infections.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight
