DK Gel Dusting Powder belongs to the class of antifungal medication. It is used in the treatment of fungal or yeast infections of the skin such as athlete’s foot (affects toes), jock itch (affects the groin area), candidiasis (affects mouth, throat, gut, and vagina), and ringworm (affects skin or the scalp) . Athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm are fungal infections closely related to each other, whereas candidiasis is a yeast infection caused by Candida albicans. These infections are usually seen in people with weak immune systems. They can spread by skin-to-skin contact.
DK Gel Dusting Powder contains miconazole. DK Gel Dusting Powder can inhibit fungal growth and reduce infection. Generally, DK Gel Dusting Powder may take 4 to 7 days to reduce the symptoms. Your doctor will decide what dose should be taken based on your health condition. Continue using DK Gel Dusting Powder even if the symptoms improve. Abrupt stopping of the medication may result in a relapse of the infection (reappearance of the signs). So, continue treatment as recommended by your doctor to eradicate the infection.
Use DK Gel Dusting Powder as recommended by the physician. In some cases, DK Gel Dusting Powder may cause redness, rash, itching, or blister formation at the site of application, impaired sense of taste (dysgeusia), headache, itching or burning, tummy/abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
