Miconazole nitrate is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent most commonly used to treat fungal infections on the skin, nails, mouth, or vagina. Treatment can vary widely depending on the location and severity of the infection.

The medication is available in a variety of formulations suitable for use on fungal infections on different parts of the body; be sure to buy the miconazole nitrate product which best matches the type of infection being treated.

Products containing miconazole nitrate are sold under a range of brand names, including Daktarin, Monistat, Lotrimin, Desenex, Zeasorb and many others. Some products contain only miconazole nitrate, while others contain multiple active ingredients. In most areas it's possible to buy miconazole nitrate products over-the-counter; some high-dose versions may require a prescription.

Treating Oral Thrush

If treating oral thrush---candida overgrowth in the mouth or throat---be sure to buy miconazole nitrate formulated for oral use, such as Daktarin Oral Gel. Oral products are typically applied 3 or 4 times a day, using a finger to administer the gel directly onto affected areas.

Some oral products are suitable for use in infants as young as a couple months old; others should only be used in older children. Be sure to check labels carefully before use.

Thrush infections often clear up within 1 to 2 days of starting treatment. Use of the oral antifungal should continue for 2 to 7 days after symptoms have disappeared to ensure the infection does not resurface.

Treating Vaginal Yeast Infections

Vaginal yeast infections are usually the result of Candida overgrowth in the vagina. Like oral thrush, yeast infections are very common. Treatment options include vaginal creams and vaginal inserts. Vaginal creams can be inserted into the vagina as well as spread on surrounding skin to alleviate itching and irritation.

Vaginal products are typically administered once per day, preferably at bedtime, for 7 consecutive days. During treatment other vaginal products should be avoided, including tampons. Intercourse should also be avoided until the infection is cleared up.

Treating Fungal Nail Infections

For maximum results and convenience in treating fungal nail infections, buy miconazole nitrate tinctures specifically designed for this purpose. An example is Daktarin Tincture.

Tinctures are painted on the nails and skin surrounding them twice per day. The tincture dries on the nails, similar to nail polish, holding the medication in place while allowing normal use of hands.

Tinctures can be used on both fingernails and toenails. Nail infections are notoriously difficult to treat and slow to heal; treatment will likely last several months. Toenail infections tend to heal slower than fingernail infections, and sometimes require systemic treatment to completely clear up.

Treating Fungal Skin Infections

For all other fungal infections on the skin---ringworm, jock itch, athlete's foot and other skin infections---a variety of creams, foams and powders are available. These products are all fairly similar; choosing one over another is largely up to personal preference as far as applying the medication.

Powder products, such as Daktarin Powder, are somewhat unique in that they will also dry the application site. Many patients also prefer to buy miconazole nitrate powder for use in armpits, skin folds, the groin or other areas prone to moisture. Powders can be dusted in shoes, on clothing, or otherwise sprinkled on material that will come into contact with the affected area.

These types of products are usually applied directly to the affected area once or twice daily. Treatment should continue for about 10 days after symptoms are gone. Significant improvements are usually noticed within the first day or two of starting treatment, but it may take several additional days or even a few weeks to fully clear up tough infections.
