Daktarin Aktiv Spray Powder

About Daktarin Aktiv Spray Powder

Daktarin Aktiv Spray Powder contains miconazole nitrate, a potent antifungal agent clinically proven to treat athlete’s foot. This medicated spray powder is specifically formulated to combat the fungi that cause skin infections while providing a cooling, drying effect. By absorbing moisture and attacking the infection at the source, it helps to relieve the itching, redness, and cracked skin associated with athlete’s foot.

Daktarin Aktiv Spray Powder is designed for easy application, particularly for targeting hard-to-reach areas between the toes, and helps prevent reinfection when applied to socks and footwear.

What Is Daktarin Aktiv Spray Powder Used For?

Daktarin Aktiv Spray Powder is used to treat fungal infections of the feet, commonly known as athlete’s foot. It works by destroying the fungi that cause the infection and provides symptomatic relief from the burning, stinging, and itching sensations. Because it is a spray powder, it also helps keep the feet dry, creating an environment where fungi find it difficult to thrive.

Who Is Daktarin Aktiv Spray Powder Suitable For?

This product is suitable for use by adults and children of all ages.

Do not use Daktarin Aktiv Spray Powder if you:

• Are allergic to miconazole nitrate or any other ingredients in the spray.

How to Use Daktarin Aktiv Spray Powder

1. Wash the affected area and dry it thoroughly, paying close attention to the spaces between the toes.
2. Shake the can vigorously before use.
3. Hold the can approximately 15cm (6 inches) away from the skin.
4. Spray the powder liberally over the affected areas and the surrounding skin.
5. You may also spray the powder inside your socks and shoes to help clear the infection and prevent it from coming back.

Do not stop using the spray as soon as the symptoms disappear. Continue application for 10 days after the skin looks normal to ensure the fungus is completely eradicated.
