Micatin

Who is Micatin for ?

Micatin, an antifungal agent, is used for skin infections such as athlete's foot and jock itch and for vaginal yeast infections. Micatin is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

When should I be careful taking Micatin ?

Before using Micatin,

• tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to Miconazole Topical or any other drugs.
• tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, including vitamins.
• tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking Micatin, call your doctor.
