Daktarin Powder Original - 20g

Daktarin Powder Original 20 g is a medicated antifungal powder formulated to help treat and manage common fungal skin infections, particularly in moist, warm areas such as between the toes, feet, groin or skin folds. Its fine talc base absorbs excess moisture while the active ingredient works to combat the fungus that causes itching, scaling and irritation.

This powder is suitable for adults and children (according to product leaflet guidance), and it can also be applied to socks, shoes or garments to support a drier environment and reduce recurrence risk.

Key Benefits

• Antifungal action from medically recognised miconazole nitrate helps eliminate the cause of skin fungal infections.

• Moisture-absorbing powder helps keep the affected area dry and comfortable.

• Suitable for multiple skin areas, including feet (athlete’s foot), groin and skin folds.

• Comfort-enhancing by reducing friction in shoes and clothing contact zones.

Follow the product’s patient information leaflet and label directions.
