Miconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, and yeast infections. It belongs to the azole class of antifungals, which work by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption leads to increased membrane permeability and ultimately fungal cell death.
For the treatment of fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, and yeast infections.
