  • What is Daktarin Gold 2% Cream?
    Daktarin Gold 2% Cream is a pharmacy medicine used to treat fungal skin infections, including athlete’s foot, jock itch, and other dermatophyte infections. The active ingredient, ketoconazole, is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that targets and eliminates the fungi causing the infection, providing relief from symptoms such as itching, redness, and scaling.

    How does Daktarin Gold 2% Cream work?
    Daktarin Gold contains ketoconazole, an antifungal agent that works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, causing the fungi to die. This effectively clears the infection while also relieving associated symptoms like itching and inflammation. The cream is applied directly to the affected area, ensuring that the active ingredient is delivered where it's needed most.

    Using Daktarin Gold 2% Cream not only helps to clear existing fungal infections but also helps prevent them from returning. Regular use as directed ensures that the skin is free from the fungi that cause conditions like athlete’s foot, making it an essential part of your skincare routine if you are prone to such infections.
