In Treatment of Skin infections

Micogent Lotion helps treat and control skin infections caused by bacteria such as boils, impetigo (red sores on face), infection in the hair follicle, etc. It may also be used to prevent infections in small cuts, wounds, burns, or ulcers on your skin. Micogent Lotion is also used to treat fungal infections like athlete’s foot (infection between toes), Jock itch (infection of the groin area), and ringworm.

How to use Micogent Lotion

This medicine is for external use only. Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Shake it well and apply to the area evenly.

How Micogent Lotion works

Micogent Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Gentamicin and Miconazole. Gentamicin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Miconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Together, they treat your skin infection effectively.
