MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE 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).
MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE 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.
MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE is for external use only. Use MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE as advised by your doctor. You are advised to use MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE 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 MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE 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 MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE 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 MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE. Do not use MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE 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 MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE for more than 5 days on the face. Do not apply MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE 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 MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE.
Fungal skin infections
MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE 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, MICONAZOLE NITRATE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE clears fungal infections and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling, and itching of the skin caused due to infections.
