Daktarin is an antifungal medication used to treat a variety of fungal infections that may affect the skin, nails, or mucous membranes such as those in the mouth and vagina. This medication contains the active ingredient miconazole, which works to stop the growth of fungi and kill them by weakening the fungal cell membrane.
Daktarin is a popular choice for treating fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot, tinea corporis, and tinea cruris; treating fungal nail infections; treating oral thrush, a type of infection that usually appears as white patches in the mouth; and eliminating vaginal fungal infections, which are often accompanied by symptoms such as itching or abnormal vaginal discharge.
