Daktacort Cream is a dual-action topical treatment designed for fungal skin infections accompanied by inflammation and irritation. It combines miconazole nitrate, a powerful antifungal, with hydrocortisone, a mild corticosteroid that reduces redness, itching, and swelling. This cream is commonly used to treat conditions such as athlete’s foot, sweat rash, and infected eczema. Suitable for adults and children over 10 years, Daktacort Cream offers targeted relief for irritated fungal infections.
