FAQs

Miconit-F Cream 15 gm contains Fluocinolone acetonide and Miconazole nitrate. Fluocinolone acetonide works by preventing the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Miconazole nitrate damages the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents and kills fungi. Thereby, Miconit-F Cream 15 gm clears fungal infections and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling, and itching of the skin caused due to infections.
