Product Details
Daktarin Oral Gel
Daktarin oral gel contains the active ingredient miconazole. Miconazole is an antifungal medicine used to treat infections with fungi and yeasts.
Miconazole kills fungi and yeasts by interfering with their cell membranes. It works by stopping the fungi from producing a substance called ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes. The disruption in production of ergosterol disrupts the fungal cell membrane, causing holes to appear in it.
Prevention and treatment of fungal infections of the mouth, throat, stomach and intestines.
Daktarin oral gel can also be bought from pharmacies without a prescription, but only for treating and preventing fungal infections of the mouth and throat such as oral thrush.

Warnings
Daktarin Oral Gel
- Daktarin oral gel should be taken after eating and held in the mouth for as long as possible before swallowing.
- Daktarin oral gel is sticky. You should be careful to ensure that the gel doesn't obstruct the throat, as this may cause choking, particularly in children. The gel should not be put at the back of the throat, and the prescribed dose may be divided into smaller portions.
- If you have false teeth (dentures) and are treating oral thrush you should brush the gel onto your dentures after you take them out at night to kill any fungus that may be on the dentures.
- Treatment with this medicine should be continued for two days after the symptoms have cleared up to ensure the infection is fully treated and prevent it from coming back.
- Take at regular intervals. Complete the prescribed course unless otherwise directed.
