FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Broad specturm antifungal treatment.
Daktarin Tincture is a medicine used for treating nail infections caused by fungi, including yeast.
Ingredients
Daktarin Tincture contains 20 milligrams of miconazole in each millilitre. It also contains acrylate copolymers, propylene glycol and, ethanol, denatonium benzoate.
Directions
Before starting treatment cut the infected nail as short as possible.
Apply Daktarin Tincture using the brush, which is attached to the cap of the bottle. Apply a thin layer twice a day to the affected nail, the area around it and if possible under it. After the tincture has dried, a film will remain.
Before applying the tincture again, you should clean the nail with a swab saturated with acetone-based nail polish remover. If this is not done, the layers will build up and the tincture may not reach the nail properly.
You should continue until all signs of the infection have gone and the nail appears completely normal. This will take at least 2 months.
Your nail may fall off; this is caused by the infection not DAKTARIN Tincture.
You may notice a stain on the nail and/or the area around it during the course of treatment.
Warnings
If your symptoms do not improve after using DAKTARIN Tincture, see your health professional.
