Introduction: In Treatment of Fungal skin infections Micolon CR Cream is used to treat fungal infections like athlete’s foot (infection between toes), Jock itch (infection of the groin area), ringworm, and other fungal skin infections (candidiasis). It is also used to treat a skin condition known as pityriasis, a fungal infection that causes lightening or darkening of the skin of the neck, chest, arms, or legs. It provides relief from various symptoms, such as pain, redness, itching, burning sensation and speeds up the healing process. You might see a change in your skin appearance in a week if used as prescribed by your doctor.
Benefits: This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
Description: Micolon CR Cream is a combination medicine used in the treatment of fungal skin infections. It works by killing the microorganisms that cause infection. It also blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause redness, swelling, and itching. Micolon CR Cream should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you needed, it will not clear your condition faster and may only increase the side effects. Skin infections will usually get better after 2 to 6 weeks. Do not use the medicine for longer than your doctor has told you to and let him or her know if your condition does not improve after 2 to 6 weeks of treatment. The effects of the medicine can be increased by keeping the affected area clean and dry, and washing hands before and after treating the infection. The most common side effects of this medicine include application site reactions like burning, irritation, itching, and redness. These are usually mild but let your doctor know if they bother you or last more than a few days. Avoid direct contact with eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way this medicine works, but talk to your doctor before using it if you have recently used another medicine for the infection. The medicine is not recommended for pregnant women. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctors before using this medicine.
How to Use: Micolon CR Cream is a combination of two medicines: Miconazole and Triamcinolone which treat fungal skin infections. Miconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Triamcinolone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.
