The drug DAKTACORT contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Miconazole
UNII VW4H1CYW1K - MICONAZOLE NITRATE
|
|
Miconazole possesses an antifungal activity against the common dermatophytes and yeasts as well as an antibacterial activity against certain gram-positive bacilli and cocci. Its activity is based on the inhibition of the ergosterol biosynthesis in fungi and the change in the composition of the lipid components in the membrane, resulting in fungal cell necrosis. |
|
2
Hydrocortisone
UNII WI4X0X7BPJ - HYDROCORTISONE
|
|
Hydrocortisone is the main glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex. Hydrocortisone is an anti-inflammatory steroid. Its anti-inflammatory action is due to reduction in the vascular component of the inflammatory response and reduction in the formation of inflammatory fluid and cellular exudates. |
