What is Micogel Cream 2%?

Micogel Cream 2% is an antifungal topical medicine used to treat various fungal skin infections.

It helps manage conditions such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, dhobie itch, thrush, nail infections, and fungal rashes that cause itching, redness, and flaky skin.

Micogel contains Miconazole as its active ingredient, which works by stopping fungal growth and preventing the infection from returning.

Regular use as prescribed helps relieve itching, irritation, and discomfort caused by fungal infections.

Micogel Cream 2% is manufactured by Cipla Ltd, a trusted Indian pharmaceutical company, and is available with a doctor’s prescription.

How does Micogel(Miconazole) Cream 2% work?

Micogel Cream contains Miconazole, an imidazole antifungal agent.

Miconazole blocks the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes.

Without ergosterol, fungal cells weaken, leak vital contents, and stop growing.

This action helps eliminate the infection and prevents further fungal spread.
