Medical Overview
Daktarin is listed as Dermatology containing Miconazole. A dermatology medicine used on the skin or by mouth depending on the active ingredient.
Daktarin (miconazole) is the two-faced household antifungal: the orange oral gel for infant thrush (4 months+, applied in small smears — bulk dosing is a real choking hazard) and the skin cream for tinea and candida. Its trap: even the oral gel meaningfully potentiates warfarin and sulfonylureas — a documented, underappreciated interaction.
