Gyno-Daktarin V-Cream

Description
Gyno-Daktarin Vaginal Cream 20g contains Miconazole Nitrate, an antifungal medication used for the treatment of vulvovaginal fungal infections, primarily Candida (yeast) infections. It works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, leading to cell death and relief from symptoms such as itching, burning, discharge, and irritation. It may also be prescribed for mycotic balanitis in male partners to prevent reinfection.
