Daktarin 2% Oral Gel is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections in the mouth and throat. Its active ingredient is miconazole, a powerful antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, particularly Candida species, which are commonly responsible for infections like oral thrush. This gel is typically prescribed for both adults and children to alleviate symptoms such as soreness, discomfort, or white patches in the mouth caused by fungal overgrowth. It is applied directly to the affected areas inside the mouth, usually after meals, and may need to be taken multiple times a day depending on the severity of the infection.
