Miconazole 2% is an antifungal medicine used to treat fungal infections of the skin. It works by killing the fungus that causes infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, thrush, ringworm, and dry, flaky skin.

Treatment of Fungal skin infections

Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area(s) as directed by a doctor. Wash your hands before and after application. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Miconazole works by stopping the growth of fungi that cause skin infections. It does this by interfering with the production of a substance called ergosterol, which is essential for maintaining the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the fungal cells become weak, leaky, and eventually die. This helps clear up infections like athlete's foot, ringworm, and yeast infections, providing relief from itching, redness, and discomfort.
