Daktacort (miconazole nitrate) is a topical fungicide, used to treat fungal infections on the skin. The medication also has some antibiotic properties, which can help with healing fungal infections lightly contaminated with bacteria, but it is not a powerful antibiotic and should not be used as a primary treatment for bacterial infections.

Daktacort can be used anywhere on the body as long as it is not directly applied to mucous membranes. It is sometimes used on the face when conditions like eczema are complicated with a fungal infection, but use on the delicate skin of the face should be minimal, as it can produce unsightly and uncomfortable side effects. Patients commonly buy Daktacort to treat:

• Candida infections
• Ringworm
• Intertrigo (sweat rash)
• Jock itch
• Vaginal yeast infections
• Athlete's foot

Note that patients have the option to buy Daktacort in two formulas:

• Daktacort Cream is water-based, quickly absorbed into the skin. It is best for moist areas, such as skin folds, where effort is being made to keep the area dry.
• Daktacort Ointment is oil-based; it is best used on dry areas where moisture is not a concern or even desirable. It is thicker and greasier than the cream, and will stay on the skin longer.

The above formulas are interchangeable for any skin condition. They are not ideal for treating nail fungus, however; patients will have better luck treating nails with Daktarin Tincture, which contains the same active ingredient as Daktacort but is formulated to stick to the nails, similar to nail polish. Similarly, patients planning to buy Daktacort cream or ointment may be interested in Daktarin Powder, which can be sprinkled in shoes or on clothing or bedding to inhibit spread or reinfection.

Treatment Overview

Treatment is simple, and similar regardless of using the ointment or the cream:

• Clean and dry the affected area.
• Gently rub the cream or ointment over the affected area, extending a small way onto healthy skin.
• Repeat application two or three times per day.
• Do not cover application site with airtight dressings or clothing.

The medication may cause mild burning, itching, or irritation of the application site, especially after the first few uses. This is not cause for concern unless severe. There should be significant improvements seen within 7 days of use; if the condition has not noticeably improved---or worsens at any point of treatment---alternative treatments should be considered. If the medication fails to produce results the infection may not be fungal or it may be a resistant strain.

If Daktacort is producing good results, treatment should continue until the condition is completely cleared up and then for several days after to be sure any lingering fungi are destroyed.
