Miragel Oral Gel 40gm

Medication name: Miragel Oral Gel 40 g contains Miconazole oral gel (20 mg/g), an antifungal medication designed for treating fungal infections of the mouth and throat.

It is intended for topical use inside the mouth.

Drug class: Antifungal (Imidazole derivative)

Use: Miragel is used to treat and prevent oral and throat fungal infections (oral thrush or oropharyngeal candidiasis) caused by Candida albicans and other fungi.

It may also help relieve soreness, irritation, and discomfort in the affected area.

How it works: Miconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes.

This disrupts the membrane structure, leading to cell death and elimination of the infection.

Dosage and administration:

• Apply the gel four times daily after meals.

• Using a clean finger or applicator, spread the gel over the affected areas of the mouth.

• Keep the gel in contact with the mucosa as long as possible—do not swallow immediately.

• For infants and children, apply small amounts to avoid choking.

• Continue treatment for at least one week after symptoms disappear.

Side effects: Common side effects include mild burning, irritation, nausea, or altered taste. Rarely, allergic reactions such as swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing may occur.

Precautions:

• For oral use only—do not swallow large amounts.

• Avoid use in patients with liver disease without medical advice.

• Inform your doctor of all other medications, as Miconazole may interact with certain drugs (e.g., warfarin).

• Consult your doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Stop using if allergic reaction occurs.

Storage: Store below 25 °C, in a cool, dry place, tightly closed, and out of reach of children.
