Fungiderm Cream is a topical antifungal skin cream used to treat fungal and yeast infections. Its active ingredient is FDA-approved Miconazole Nitrate at 2% (w/w) strength. Available in a 30 gm tube, it is manufactured by Dermo Care Laboratories in a GMP-compliant facility.
Belonging to the Fungal Ergosterol Synthesis Inhibitor drug class, Miconazole blocks ergosterol formation. This substance is essential to fungi to maintain a strong cell membrane. Without ergosterol, fungal cells become weak and leaky. This stops their growth and helps clear the infection. This topical antifungal therapy also relieves itching, redness, scaling, and discomfort from a skin rash.
Fungiderm is thus commonly prescribed for the treatment of Athlete’s Foot (infection between the toes), Jock Itch, Candidiasis (affecting the skin) and Ringworm. Since these infections can spread through skin-to-skin contact, consistent treatment and good hygiene are equally important.
Apply a thin layer of Fungiderm Miconazole Nitrate 2% (w/w) Cream to the affected area and the surrounding skin twice daily, or as prescribed. Do not skip doses and complete the full course to prevent relapse. If you forget, apply it when you remember, but skip if it is close to the next application.
Fungidern cream is intended for external use only. In case of accidental swallowing, or contact with the eyes, mouth, or open wounds, rinse thoroughly with water. Seek medical help if you experience any allergic symptoms. Store it in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight with the cap tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Avoid Fungiderm if you have allergies to Miconazole, chronic skin conditions, or circulation issues. Do not combine with anticoagulants, immunosuppressants or antibiotics without medical advice. Due to the possible risk of transfer to the baby, Pregnant or breastfeeding women should confirm with their doctor before use.
