Side effects vary. Common effects may include nausea, headache, and gastrointestinal disturbances. Please refer to the patient information leaflet supplied with your medication for a complete list. Report any unexpected or severe side effects to your prescriber or pharmacist.
Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, or on the face, eyes, broken skin, cold sores, acne or rosacea.
Tell us if you take warfarin: miconazole can be absorbed and increase its effect.

Apply to the affected skin twice a day, for no longer than 7 days. If the rash has not gone after 7 days, carry on with a plain antifungal cream such as clotrimazole. Wash your hands after use.
