Micogel Cream 15gm

Micogel Cream is used for susceptible fungal infections of the skin.

Uses of Micogel Cream are:

• Ringworm: Treats tinea corporis on the body.
• Athlete's Foot: Treats fungal infection between or around the toes.
• Jock Itch: Treats fungal infection of the groin.

Use Micogel Cream in the following way:

• Ensure that the affected skin areas are clean and thoroughly dry before application.

• Gently massage the cream into your skin until it's fully absorbed.

• Remember to wash your hands immediately after applying, unless your hands are being treated.

• It's recommended to apply the cream twice daily, in the morning and evening or as advised by the doctor.

• For best results, keep using for 2 to 4 weeks even if symptoms improve earlier.

• If there's no improvement within 4 weeks or if your condition worsens, consult your doctor.

Micogel Cream is applied topically.

Micogel Cream contains miconazole nitrate (2%), which has the following actions on your body:

• Ergosterol Biosynthesis Inhibition: Miconazole works by blocking the production of ergosterol, a crucial component in fungal cell membranes. By inhibiting ergosterol production, miconazole disrupts the structure and function of these membranes.

• Increased Fungal Cell Permeability: When ergosterol biosynthesis is inhibited, the fungal cell membranes become permeable or leaky. This causes leakage of cellular contents and ultimately ends in fungal cell death.

• Anti-inflammatory Properties: Apart from acting against fungi, miconazole also exerts anti-inflammatory effects on the skin. This helps reduce inflammation often associated with fungal infections.

• Keep Micogel Cream stored below 25°C in a cool and dry place.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat.

• Ensure the tube is tightly closed when not in use.

• Keep it out of reach and sight of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use, and don't use it if expired.

• Maintain personal hygiene: Since Micogel Cream is used for managing fungal skin infections, ensure you clean your body thoroughly, focusing on areas prone to fungal growth like armpits, groin, and feet.

• Wear breathable clothing: Opt for loose, cotton clothes and avoid tight, synthetic ones to minimize sweat accumulation, which can promote fungal growth.
