Composition

• Miconazole Nitrate 2% w/w (Antifungal)
• Hydrocortisone 1% w/w (Mild corticosteroid)

Mechanism of Action

Miconazole Nitrate works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to the destruction of fungal cells. Hydrocortisone, a mild corticosteroid, reduces inflammation, itching, redness, and swelling by suppressing the local immune response. Together, they provide both antifungal action and symptomatic relief.
