Daktacort Cream 10G

How it works

Miconazole nitrate is active against dermatophytes and pathogenic yeasts and many Gram-positive bacteria. Hydrocortisone is an anti-inflammatory steroid. Its anti-inflammatory action is due to reduction in the vascular component of the inflammatory response, suppression of migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and reversal of increased capillary permeability. The vasoconstrictor action of hydrocortisone may also contribute to its anti-inflammatory activity.
