Product Overview

Daktacort Hydrocortisone Cream is used to treat fungal skin infections such as sweat rash or athlete's foot when you have additional symptoms of inflammation (such as swelling, redness, and itching).

Triple Action

• Antibacterial
• Antifungal
• Anti-Inflammatory

Active Ingredients

Daktacort Hydrocortisone Cream contains two types of medicine:

• Hydrocortisone acetate: a mild 'topical steroid' which reduces inflammation, swelling, redness, and itching of the skin.
• Miconazole nitrate: an 'antifungal' which destroys the fungi and some bacteria which cause skin infections.

Uses

Daktacort Hydrocortisone is used to treat:

• Sweat rash: (candidal intertrigo, or 'thrush' of the skin folds) is a sore, itchy red rash found in areas where the skin rubs together e.g. below or between the breasts, underarms, tops of legs, or the groin.
• Athlete's foot: a fungal skin infection causing soreness, itching, and flaking between the toes or on the soles or sides of the feet.

Consultation

If you have a fungal infection without any symptoms of inflammation, an antifungal medication without hydrocortisone acetate may be more appropriate. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you are in doubt.
