Daktarin Sugar Free Oral Gel 15g
Daktarin Sugar Free Oral Gel is a highly effective antifungal treatment formulated to tackle fungal and associated bacterial infections of the mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract. Commonly used for treating oral thrush (candidiasis), this 2% miconazole-based gel is suitable for adults, children, and infants over 4 months old.
How Daktarin Oral Gel Works
The active ingredient, Miconazole, belongs to a group of medicines called antifungals. It works by destroying the fungal cells that cause infection. The gel is specifically designed to be "sticky," allowing it to stay in contact with the affected areas in the mouth for longer, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
Key Benefits
- Effective Relief: Specifically targets oral thrush and fungal infections.
- Sugar-Free Formula: Safe for diabetic patients and gentle on teeth.
- Pleasant Flavor: Features an orange and cocoa flavor, making it easier for children and infants to take.
- Dual Action: Effective against both fungi and certain types of bacteria.
Usage and Safety Instructions
For the best results, the gel should be kept in the mouth for as long as possible after application. If the infection is limited to the mouth, apply the gel directly to the affected area with a clean finger.
Important Note for Infants (4 months+)
When treating infants, do not apply the gel to the back of the throat to avoid the risk of choking. Apply small amounts to the front of the mouth and ensure the infant is supervised.
Caution: If you are taking blood-thinning medications like Warfarin, consult your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist before using Daktarin Oral Gel, as it can interfere with how these medicines work.
