Product Information

Full details

Daktarin Cream is an over-the-counter antifungal and antibacterial treatment suitable for adults, children, and infants. It effectively combats fungal infections of the skin and nails caused by yeast and bacteria, offering a non-greasy, quick-absorbing solution that also moisturizes. While effective for common infections and particularly useful for nappy rash in babies, users should be aware that complete eradication may require continued use even after symptoms disappear to prevent recurrence.
