Daktarin Sugar Free 2% Oral Gel 15g
Daktarin Sugar Free 2% Oral Gel is an antifungal medicine used to treat superficial fungal infections of the mouth and throat, including oral thrush. It contains miconazole, an antifungal ingredient that works by destroying the fungus responsible for the infection.
The sugar-free gel has an orange flavour and can be used by adults, children and infants aged 4 months and over, subject to the precautions below.
Dosage and Directions
For oral use only. Use after meals.
-
Infants and children aged 4 months to 2 years:
Apply 1.25 ml gel (¼ measuring spoon) to the affected area four times a day after meals. -
Adults and children aged 2 years and over:
Apply 2.5 ml gel (½ measuring spoon) to the affected area four times a day after meals.
Apply the gel directly to the affected area with a clean finger and keep it in contact with the
affected area for as long as possible. Do not swallow it immediately.
When giving the gel to an infant or young child, divide each dose into smaller portions and place
the gel at the front of the mouth. Never put the whole dose into the mouth at once or place the gel
at the back of the throat, as this may cause choking.
Continue treatment for up to 7 days after all symptoms have cleared. If symptoms persist, speak
to your doctor or pharmacist.
Warnings
- Do not use in infants under 4 months old due to the risk of choking.
-
If an infant is aged 4–6 months and was born prematurely, has slow development or has difficulty
swallowing, consult a doctor before use. - Do not use if you are allergic to miconazole, similar antifungal medicines or any of the other ingredients.
- Do not use if you have liver dysfunction.
-
Do not use Daktarin Sugar Free 2% Oral Gel if you are taking warfarin. Miconazole can significantly
increase the anticoagulant effect of warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding. -
Daktarin may interact with a number of other medicines, including some antihistamines, cholesterol-lowering
medicines, medicines for irregular heartbeat, sedatives, migraine medicines, diabetes medicines,
immunosuppressants and certain medicines used to treat cancer. Check with your doctor or pharmacist
before use if you take any regular medication. -
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine if you are pregnant, planning
pregnancy or breastfeeding. Do not apply the gel to the nipple when breastfeeding. -
Stop using the medicine and seek medical advice immediately if you develop signs of a severe allergic
reaction, such as swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, wheezing, difficulty breathing or swallowing,
hives, or a severe blistering or peeling skin rash. - Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
