Miconazole is an imidazole antifungal agent used to treat dermatophytic and yeast infections of the skin, mouth, and vagina. It acts by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Miconazole is approved for topical and some mucosal infections and is widely used today.
Pharmacokinetics reported in healthy adults following single oral administration of miconazole tablets.
