Mycoten Cream 20g – Effective Antifungal Treatment by Drugfield
Fast Relief from Fungal Infections & Skin Irritation
Mycoten Cream is a broad-spectrum antifungal cream manufactured by Drugfield Pharmaceuticals Limited. It is specifically formulated to treat and prevent fungal skin infections like ringworm and athlete's foot. It contains Clotrimazole, a powerful agent that works by eliminating fungal growth and relieving itching, redness, and irritation.
Active Ingredient
- Clotrimazole (1% w/w) – An antifungal medication that disrupts fungal cell membranes, effectively stopping their growth and spread.
Indications (Uses)
Mycoten Cream is used for the treatment of:
- Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis) – Fungal infection affecting the feet and toes.
- Ringworm (Tinea Corporis) – Red, circular patches on the skin.
- Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris) – Itchy, red rash in the groin area.
- Candidiasis (Yeast Infections) – Fungal skin infections often referred to locally as part of "toilet infection" symptoms.
- Fungal Skin Infections – Helps relieve itching, scaling, and inflammation.
Can I Use Mycoten Cream on My Face?
Yes, you can use Mycoten Cream on your face if you have a fungal infection like ringworm. However, you must be careful:
- Apply only a very thin layer to the affected area.
- Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Do not use it for long periods on the face without consulting a doctor or a GoMed pharmacist.
Mycoten Cream vs. Mycoten Vaginal Cream
It is important to distinguish between these two. The Mycoten Cream 20g is primarily for topical skin application. While Clotrimazole is used for vaginal issues, "Mycoten Vaginal Cream" is a specific formulation that usually comes with an applicator for internal use. For vaginal yeast infections, Mycoten tablets (pessaries) are also widely used in Nigeria.
How to Use
- Clean and dry the affected area before application.
- Apply a thin layer of Mycoten Cream 2 to 3 times daily.
- Gently massage the cream into the skin until fully absorbed.
- Continue treatment for at least 14 days, even if the skin looks clear, to prevent the infection from returning.
Side Effects & Precautions
- You may feel a mild stinging or burning sensation (often described as "peppery") upon application.
- For external use only.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult our pharmacist before use.
- Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C.
