INDICATIONS
BECARIN CREAM contains 2%w/w Miconazole Nitrate in a white
cream base.
Preservatives:
Methylparaben 0.32%w/w, Propylparaben 0.048%w/w.
Miconazole is fungistatic, inhibits biosynthesis of ergosterol or
other
sterols, damaging the fungal cell wall membrane and altering
permeabili-
ty; as a result, loss of essential intracellular elements may occur,
also
inhibits biosynthesis of triglycerides and phospholipids by fungi; in
addition, inhibits oxidative and peroxidative enzyme activity;
resulting in
intracellular buildup of toxic concentrations of hydrogen peroxides
which may contribute to deterioration of subcellular organalles and
cellular
necrosis.
In
Candida
albicans,
inhibits
transformation
of
blastospores into invasive mycelial form.
Miconazole is incompletely absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract.
Penetration into cerebrospinal fluid and sputum is poor but miconazole
infuses well into infected joints. Over 90% reported to be bound to
plasma proteins. Miconazole is metabolised in the liver to inactive
metabolites.
There
is
little
absorption
through
skin
and
mucous
membranes when miconazole nitrate is applied topically.
Treatment of fungal infections of skin and nails including cutaneous
candidiasis, tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis and tinea
versicolor
(pityriasis versicolor).
Apply to the affected areas two or three times daily continuing for
fourteen days after lesions have healed.
