Daktarin Aktiv Cream is a topical antifungal treatment used to combat athlete’s foot and other fungal infections affecting the feet. It contains the active ingredient miconazole nitrate, which stops fungal growth and eliminates the root cause of the infection while also preventing recurrence.

How It Works

Miconazole nitrate works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, effectively killing the fungi causing the infection. It also has some antibacterial action, helping reduce the risk of secondary infections.

Why Choose Daktarin Aktiv Cream

This dual-action formula not only treats athlete’s foot but helps relieve uncomfortable symptoms like itching, redness, and scaling. It’s absorbed quickly, non-greasy, and easy to apply, making it ideal for daily use.

Important Note

Ensure feet are clean and dry before each application. Continue using the cream for a few days after symptoms clear to prevent relapse. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If symptoms worsen or persist, seek medical advice.

Directions

Always follow the instructions on the packaging and leaflet.

  • Dosage: Apply to the affected area twice a day

  • How to apply: Clean and dry the area first. Apply a small amount of cream and rub in gently. Wash hands afterwards.
