Daktarin Aktiv Spray Powder 100g is a medicated antifungal spray powder containing miconazole nitrate, designed to treat athlete's foot.

Key Benefits:

- Treats athlete's foot caused by susceptible fungi.
- Convenient spray powder format.
- Suitable for application to affected areas of the feet, as directed.
- Helps manage the infection responsible for itching, peeling and discomfort.

Active ingredient:
Miconazole nitrate.
The exact concentration and full list of excipients should be verified against the current 100g product packaging or patient information leaflet before publication.
Do not assume that the spray powder has the same inactive ingredients as Daktarin Powder or Daktarin Cream.
Daktarin Aktiv Spray Powder contains miconazole nitrate, an imidazole antifungal medicine.
Miconazole interferes with the production of ergosterol, an important component of fungal cell membranes.
This disrupts fungal cell function and helps treat the infection.
Symptoms may begin to improve before the infection has fully cleared. It is important to complete the recommended treatment course.
Important Medicine Interaction
Miconazole can interact with certain medicines, including warfarin.
If you take warfarin or another medicine that may interact with miconazole, speak to a pharmacist or prescriber before using Daktarin Aktiv.
Always follow the current package leaflet.
