Micogerm Ointment belongs to the class of antifungal medication. It is used in the treatment of fungal or yeast infections of the skin, such as athlete’s foot (affects toes), jock itch (affects the groin area), candidiasis (affects mouth, throat, gut, and vagina), and ringworm (affects skin or the scalp)­­­­. Athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm are fungal infections closely related to each other, whereas candidiasis is a yeast infection caused by Candida albicans. These infections are usually seen in people with weak immune systems. They can spread by skin-to-skin contact.

Micogerm Ointment contains miconazole. Micogerm Ointment can inhibit fungal growth and reduce infection. Generally, Micogerm Ointment may take 4 to 7 days to reduce the symptoms. Your doctor will decide what dose should be taken based on your health condition. Continue using Micogerm Ointment even if the symptoms improve. Abrupt stopping of the medication may result in a relapse of the infection (reappearance of the signs). So, continue treatment as recommended by your doctor to eradicate the infection.

Use Micogerm Ointment as recommended by the physician. In some cases, Micogerm Ointment may cause redness, rash, itching, or blister formation at the site of application, impaired sense of taste (dysgeusia), headache, itching or burning, tummy/abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Inform your doctor if the side effects don’t disappear or get worse within a few days. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any other abnormal symptoms.

Before taking the Micogerm Ointment, inform your doctor if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to miconazole or any other antifungal agents. Inform your doctor if you are taking anticoagulants, immunosuppressants, antifungals, antibiotics, prescription drugs, or non-prescription drugs. Inform your doctor if you have diabetes, HIV or AIDS, or undergoing chemotherapy. Talk to your doctor before using this medicine in children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers.

Micogerm Ointment is used to treat fungal or yeast infections. It can inhibit the growth of fungi by targeting fungal cell membranes. It can be used to treat candidiasis, ringworm, athlete’s foot, and jock itch. It improves the symptoms within 3 to 4 days of the initial treatment.

Before using Micogerm Ointment, inform your doctor if you are allergic to miconazole or any other antifungal agents. Micogerm Ointment should be used with caution in people with a weakened immune system due to chronic conditions such as HIV or AIDS and people who are receiving chemotherapy. Also, tell your doctor if you were previously diagnosed with diabetes or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep this medicine away from your eyes. If you get any cream in your eyes, rinse with water immediately. Keep your eyes open when you rinse. Micogerm Ointment may be contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylaxis) to miconazole, milk protein concentrate, or any other product component.
