Organisms which are susceptible to miconazole are dermatophytes and pathogenic yeasts (e.g. Candida spp.). Also many Gram-positive bacteria including most strains of Streptococcus and Staphylococcus.
The properties of Candiplas H cream indicate it particularly for the initial stages of treatment. Because of its corticosteroid content avoid long-term treatment with Candiplas H cream. Once the inflammatory symptoms have disappeared (after about 7 days), treatment can be continued where necessary with miconazole nitrate 20 /g cream or powder. Treatment should be continued without interruption until the lesion has completely disappeared (usually after 2 to 5 weeks).
If after about 7 days' application, no improvement has occurred, cultural isolation of the offending organism should be followed by appropriate local or systemic antimicrobial therapy.
The same dosage applies to both adults and children.
Natural thinning of the skin occurs in the elderly, hence corticosteroids should be used sparingly and for short periods of time.
In infants and children, caution is advised when is applied to extensive surface areas or under occlusive dressings including baby napkins (diapers). In infants, long term continuous topical corticosteroid therapy should be avoided (see section 4.4).
For topical administration.
Apply the cream two or three times a day to the affected area, rubbing in gently until the cream has been absorbed by the skin.
Prolonged and excessive use can result in skin irritation, which usually disappears after discontinuation of therapy. Topically applied corticosteroids can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to produce systemic effects.
