Fungipic 2% Cream

Fungipic 2% Cream is a topical antifungal medicine that contains miconazole 2% in each tube. It belongs to the imidazole class of antifungals and is used on the skin to treat fungal infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm, as well as some yeast-related skin infections. Dermo Care Laboratories markets it as a cream for direct application to affected areas.

How it works: Miconazole works by stopping fungi from making ergosterol, a substance they need to build their cell membranes. In Fungipic 2% Cream, that action helps weaken and kill the fungus right where the cream is applied.

Fungipic 2% Cream is a standard-strength miconazole cream designed for skin use, where the 2% concentration is applied directly to the rash or infected area. Compared with lower-strength miconazole products, this formula delivers a stronger amount of medicine in each application, so it is typically chosen when a clinician feels a full-strength topical antifungal is appropriate for the skin infection being treated.

• Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis)
• Jock itch (tinea cruris)
• Ringworm (tinea corporis)
• Yeast-related skin infections
• Fungal rash in skin folds

• Clean and dry the affected skin before applying Fungipic 2% Cream.
• Apply a thin layer to the infected area and a small amount of the surrounding skin.
• Rub the cream in gently until it disappears.
• Wash your hands after applying, unless the hands are the area being treated.
• Use it exactly as often and for as long as your doctor tells you, even if the skin starts to look better.
• Avoid getting the cream in your eyes, mouth, or inside the nose.

Fungipic 2% Cream provides miconazole 2% in cream form for topical use, so the amount used is based on the skin area being treated rather than a swallowed dose. How often it should be applied, and for how many days, depends on the infection and your doctor’s instructions; there is no universal maximum daily number that fits every patient because the prescriber should decide the schedule for this specific cream.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Miconazole may include:

• Mild burning or stinging where the cream is applied
• Itching at the application site
• Redness of the skin
• Irritation or dryness at the treated area
• Peeling or scaling as the rash improves
• Tenderness of the skin

• Use only on the skin; do not use in the eyes, mouth, or vagina unless a clinician specifically tells you to.
• Do not cover the treated area with airtight bandages unless your doctor says to.
• Tell your doctor if the rash is widespread, very inflamed, or not improving, because a different diagnosis may need treatment.
• Stop using and seek help if you develop signs of an allergic reaction.
• Use extra caution if the skin is broken, raw, or very irritated, since the cream may sting more.
• Tell your clinician about pregnancy or breastfeeding before using Fungipic 2% Cream.
• Do not share the tube with other people, even if their rash looks similar.

• Other topical antifungals applied to the same area
• Topical corticosteroids used on the same rash
• Other medicated skin products that may irritate or dry the skin
• Strong cleansing products or harsh acne treatments on the treated area

Store Fungipic 2% Cream at room temperature with the cap tightly closed, away from excess heat, moisture, and freezing.
