Daktarin Oral Gel

Description

Daktarin Oral Gel is a fast-acting antifungal medication used to treat oral thrush (a fungal infection caused by Candida) and fungal infections in the throat, mouth, and gums. The gel sticks to the lining of the mouth and delivers the active ingredient directly where it’s needed for maximum effectiveness.

Key Benefits:

• Treats and relieves symptoms of oral thrush: white patches, soreness, and discomfort

• Contains Miconazole, an antifungal that kills the fungus and prevents it from growing

• Sugar-free and orange-flavoured, making it suitable for children and infants (over 4 months)

• Easy-to-use gel that can be applied directly to the affected area

Uses:

• Oral candidiasis (oral thrush)

• Sore mouth and gums caused by fungal infections

• Treatment around dentures in denture wearers

Directions for Use:

• Adults and children over 2 years: 2.5ml (½ teaspoon) four times a day

• Infants 4 months – 2 years: 1.25ml (¼ teaspoon) four times a day

• Apply after food; keep the gel in the mouth for as long as possible before swallowing

• Continue for at least 7 days after symptoms clear to prevent recurrence

Precautions:

• Do not use in infants under 4 months or those who cannot swallow properly

• Use with care in patients on blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin)

• Avoid eating or drinking immediately after use

• Do not exceed recommended dose

• If symptoms persist beyond 7 days, consult a healthcare provider
