Table of contents:

Micatin Cream is an antifungal cream that is used to treat skin infections caused by fungal organisms, such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It contains 2% miconazole nitrate, which is the active ingredient that kills the fungus and relieves the symptoms of the infection. Miconazole works by eliminating the fungal or yeast overgrowth that is causing the infection.

Micatin is available in the form of a cream and is applied topically to the affected area. It is available over the counter without a prescription. It should be used as directed by the label, and if symptoms persist, it is important to consult a healthcare professional.

Uses and Dosage

Use the medication as directed by a healthcare provider and to continue treatment for the full prescribed course of therapy to ensure complete resolution of the infection.

To use Micatin Cream, follow the instructions on the label provided by the manufacturer or as directed by a healthcare professional. Here are some general instructions:

  1. Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream.
  2. Apply a small amount of the cream to the affected area and rub it in gently.
  3. Wash your hands after applying the cream.
  4. Use the cream twice a day (morning and night) or as directed by the label.

Use Micatin Cream regularly and as directed to get the most benefit from it. Dosage and length of treatment depends on the type of infection being treated. Do not apply this more often than prescribed. Your condition will not clear faster, but side effects may be increased.
