Daktozin Ointment 15g
Daktozin Ointment is a soothing medicated barrier cream specifically formulated to treat and protect against nappy rash associated with fungal infections. Containing both an antifungal agent and a protective base, Daktozin helps relieve irritation, redness, and discomfort while preventing further moisture-related skin damage.
This dual-action formula combines the antifungal benefits of miconazole nitrate with zinc oxide’s protective barrier properties, making it highly effective for babies and young children prone to stubborn nappy rash. The ointment not only treats the infection but also protects delicate skin from further irritation caused by wetness and friction.
