What causes fungal infections?
Fungal infections happen when the yeast or fungus on your body is given the perfect environment to grow. Warm, moist places like sweaty clothes or sports shoes can cause skin infections. These infections can occur anywhere, but common places include the torso, hands, feet, scalp, and groin.
How does Daktarin work?
Daktarin contains 20mg of miconazole nitrate per gram - a powerful antifungal medication that kills the fungus causing your infection. This cream goes straight to the source, easing your symptoms and preventing future outbreaks.
Can I use Daktarin with other medication?
Consult with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're taking any other medication, prescription or not. Some medicines can interact, causing unwanted effects or reduced effectiveness. If you're taking anticoagulants like warfarin, speak with your doctor or pharmacist to ensure your anticoagulant is working properly.
What if I get Daktarin cream on my clothes?
Don't worry, Daktarin is non-greasy and won't stain your clothes. Wash and change clothes that come into contact with the infected area often to prevent spreading.
