Description
Cream containing Miconazole Nitrate BP 2% w/w.

Since Candiplas has an antibacterial effect on gram-positive bacteria it may be used in mycoses secondarily infected with such bacteria.
Dosage/Direction for Use
Skin infections: Apply some cream to the lesions twice daily. Rub the cream with the finger until it has fully penetrated the skin. When all lesions have disappeared (usually after 2 to 5 weeks) prolong treatment for some 10 days to prevent relapse.
Nail infections: Clip infected nails as shortly as possible. Once daily apply some cream to the infected nail and rub with the finger. Cover nail with a non-perforated occlusive plastic bandage.
Also after loosening of the infected nail (from 2-3 weeks onwards), uninterrupted treatment should be continued until the growth of a new nail has set in and definite cure can be observed (mostly after seven months or more).
