Properties

Miconaz Oral Gel contains “Miconazole”, a synthetic imidazole derivative, which has strong fungicidal and bactericidal activities.

Its antifungal spectrum includes dermatophytes, Candida albicans and other Candida species, as well as dimorphic fungi. Miconazole is also effective against some gram-positive bacilli and cocci Accordingly, Miconaz oral gel is effective in the treatment of common infections of the oral cavity as well as intestinal infections caused by susceptible organisms such as Candida albicans.

Miconazole is poorly absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract so that the desired local antifungal and antibacterial actions are exerted in the buccal cavity and the gastro-intestinal tract without any systemic side effects.

Miconaz Oral Gel is specially formulated for oral use to adhere to the mucosal linings of the bucco-pharyngeal cavity and the gastro-intestinal tract so that high fungicidal concentrations are maintained as long as possible to obtain maximal cure rates.
