For moist or dry eczema or dermatitis including atopic eczema, primary irritant or contact allergic eczema or seborrheic eczema including that associated with acne. Also for interiginous eczema including inflammatory interigo, perianal and genital dermatitis. Organisms which are susceptible to miconazole are dermatophytes and pathogenic yeasts (e.g. Candida spp.): also many Gram-positive bacteria including many strains of Streptococcus and Staphylococcus.

Miconazole is a substituted imidazole, is one of the family of azoles useful in treating the superficial candidiasis and of the skin infections dermatophytosis and pityriasis versicolor, acanthameaba, seborrhoic dermatitis. Also active against Aspergillus spp., Cryptococcus neoformans, Pseudalescheria boydii and some gram-positive bacteria including Staphylococci and Streptococci. Hydrocortisone is a naturally occurring glucocorticoid that's now prepared synthetically. Its important function is in the skin injury such as inflammation. Also it has antipruritic, antimycotic and vasoconstrictive activity. Miconazole is imidazole antifungal agents that interfere with ergosterol synthesis and therefore alters the permeability of the cell membrane of sensitive fungi. Thus causes the killing of fungi, when applied to the skin, Hydrocortisone is absorbed into the skin cells. It prevents the release of certain chemicals, which is responsible for inflammation. Thus hydrocortisone reduces inflammation.

Apply to the affected area as a thin film two or four times daily for 1 to 2 weeks. Rub it well with your finger until this cream fully vanished on the skin. Treatment should be continued at least one week after the disappearance of all signs and symptoms. The same dosage applies to both adults and children.

Amphotericin antagonizes the activity of Miconazole.

It is contraindicated in individuals who are hypersensitive to it or any of its components. Should not be used in pregnant mother and lactating mother without physician's advice.

Rarely local sensitivity may occur. Long term use may decrease in the production of natural hormones by the adrenal gland.

Administration of corticosteroids to pregnant animal at high doses can cause abnormalities of fetal development. Topical steroids should not be extensively used in pregnancy.
