Daktarin Antifungal Powder for Athlete's Foot 30g (S2)
Daktarin Antifungal Powder is a topical treatment specifically designed to relieve and prevent symptoms of athlete’s foot (tinea pedis). Each application delivers a measured dose of miconazole nitrate, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that helps eliminate the fungi responsible for athlete’s foot while also controlling the bacteria that can cause secondary infections and unpleasant odours.
The fine medicated powder format makes it easy to apply directly to affected skin and inside shoes and socks, keeping feet dry and reducing moisture that encourages fungal growth. Conveniently packaged in a 30g bottle, this powder is ideal for use at home, during sport, or on the go.
As a Pharmacy Medicine (S2), Daktarin Powder is available only through pharmacies to ensure safe and correct use.
