Composition

• Miconazole Nitrate 2% w/w per 15 g oral gel tube

Indications

Micoderm Oral Gel 2% w/w is indicated for:

• Oral candidiasis (thrush)

• Denture-related stomatitis

• Oral fungal infections in immunocompromised patients

• Prevention and treatment of fungal overgrowth in patients using inhaled corticosteroids

It is suitable for both adults and children, depending on medical advice, and is particularly beneficial in patients experiencing pain, irritation, or difficulty swallowing due to oral fungal infections.

Mechanism of Action

Miconazole Nitrate is an azole antifungal that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Disruption of ergosterol synthesis weakens the fungal cell membrane, causing leakage of cellular contents and ultimately leading to fungal cell death.

By targeting fungal cells directly, Micoderm helps reduce infection, restore normal oral flora balance, and prevent further spread of infection. Its topical application ensures high local concentrations of the drug for effective treatment.

Dosage and Administration

• Apply a small amount of the gel (approximately 1 cm) to the affected area two to three times daily or as directed by your healthcare provider.

• Use a clean finger, cotton swab, or applicator to apply the gel evenly.

• Avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after application to maximize effectiveness.

• Continue the treatment for the full prescribed duration, usually 7–14 days, even if symptoms improve early.
