About Micogel Cream

Micogel Cream 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.

Micogel Cream contains miconazole. Micogel Cream can inhibit fungal growth and reduce infection. Generally, Micogel Cream 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 Micogel Cream 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 Micogel Cream as recommended by the physician. In some cases, Micogel Cream 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. Inform your doctor if the side effects don’t disappear or get worse within a few days. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any other abnormal symptoms.

Before taking the Micogel Cream, inform your doctor if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to miconazole or any other antifungal agents. Inform your doctor if you are taking anticoagulants, immunosuppressants, antifungals, antibiotics, prescription drugs, or non-prescription drugs. Inform your doctor if you have diabetes, HIV or AIDS, or undergoing chemotherapy. Talk to your doctor before using this medicine in children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers.

Directions for Use

Cream/Ointment/lotion/gel: Micogel Cream is only for external use.

Avoid contact of the Micogel Cream with the nose or eyes. In case of accidental contact with these areas, rinse with water thoroughly. Wash your hands before and after using Micogel Cream if your hands are not the affected area to prevent the spread of infection.

Medicinal Benefits

Micogel Cream is used to treat fungal or yeast infections. It can inhibit the growth of fungi by targeting fungal cell membranes. It can be used to treat candidiasis, ringworm, athlete’s foot, and jock itch. It improves the symptoms within 3 to 4 days of the initial treatment.

Storage

Drug Warnings

Before using Micogel Cream, inform your doctor if you are allergic to miconazole or any other antifungal agents. Micogel Cream should be used with caution in people with a weakened immune system due to chronic conditions such as HIV or AIDS and people who are receiving chemotherapy. Also, tell your doctor if you were previously diagnosed with diabetes or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep this medicine away from your eyes. If you get any cream in your eyes, rinse with water immediately. Keep your eyes open when you rinse. Micogel Cream may be contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylaxis) to miconazole, milk protein concentrate, or any other product component.
