Indications & Clinical Uses

Micotar Zp is indicated for topical treatment of fungal skin infections within the dermatophyte and candida disease families.

  • Tinea corporis: reduces fungal growth and alleviates erythema, scaling and itching on the body.
  • Tinea cruris: clears infection in the groin area, relieving redness and discomfort.
  • Tinea pedis: treats athlete’s foot, diminishing scaling, cracking and itching of the feet.
  • Candidal skin infections: eradicates Candida overgrowth on skin, improving lesions and irritation.
  • Dermatitis: provides antifungal action in dermatitis caused by fungal organisms, helping to resolve inflammation.

How It Works

  • Miconazole nitrate inhibits the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α‑demethylase, blocking conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol and disrupting cell‑membrane synthesis. The resulting depletion of ergosterol compromises membrane integrity, leading to leakage of intracellular contents and inhibition of fungal growth. Zinc oxide forms a protective barrier on the skin and exerts a mild astringent effect, enhancing the local antifungal activity thereby providing enhanced antifungal protection in the treated area.

Side Effects

Topical application of Micotar Zp may be associated with local skin reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Itching or mild burning at the application site
  • Redness and localized skin irritation
  • Dryness or peeling of the treated skin
  • Mild rash or tenderness around the area

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Allergic contact dermatitis with swelling or blistering
  • Severe skin irritation or extensive erythema
  • Systemic hypersensitivity reactions such as urticaria
  • Swelling of the face, lips or difficulty breathing

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Micotar Zp, consider the following precautions to ensure safe and effective treatment.

  • Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional before application.
  • Breastfeeding: discuss potential risks with a physician.
  • Age: follow pediatric guidance; use only as directed for children.
  • Application area: avoid eyes, mucous membranes and large broken skin surfaces.
  • Allergy: discontinue use and seek medical advice if hypersensitivity develops.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Micotar Zp may interact with other topical agents or systemic antifungal therapies.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use with other topical antifungal preparations: may increase local irritation.
  • Application under occlusive dressings: risk of enhanced absorption and skin irritation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Systemic antifungal drugs (e.g., itraconazole, fluconazole): monitor for additive antifungal effect.
  • Topical corticosteroids: may reduce the efficacy of the antifungal.
  • Skin barrier disruptors (e.g., harsh cleansers): monitor for increased irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Micotar Zp is a topical antifungal medication indicated for the treatment of superficial fungal skin infections such as tinea corporis (ringworm), tinea cruris (jock itch), tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), candidal skin infections and fungal‑related dermatitis. It works on the skin surface to eliminate the causative fungi and relieve associated symptoms.

Miconazole nitrate belongs to the imidazole class of antifungals. It blocks the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α‑demethylase, preventing the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This disruption leads to loss of membrane integrity, leakage of cellular contents and inhibition of fungal growth.

The specific dose and frequency of Micotar Zp are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the infection type, severity, patient age and skin area involved. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label for correct application.

Safety data for Micotar Zp during pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using the product.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Micotar Zp product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.

Micotar Zp combines miconazole nitrate with zinc oxide, offering both antifungal activity and a protective barrier. Compared with other topical imidazoles such as clotrimazole, miconazole has a similar spectrum but the added zinc oxide may improve skin protection and reduce irritation in some patients.

Store Micotar Zp at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep the product away from direct sunlight, moisture and excessive heat. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to maintain product stability.

Clean and dry the affected skin area before use. Apply a thin layer of Micotar Zp to the lesion and surrounding skin, gently rubbing it in until it disappears. Wash hands after application and avoid covering the treated area with occlusive dressings unless directed by a clinician.

Although uncommon, serious adverse reactions can include allergic contact dermatitis, severe skin irritation with swelling or blistering, extensive erythema, and systemic hypersensitivity such as urticaria or difficulty breathing. If any of these occur, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.

Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to miconazole, zinc oxide or any other component of the formulation should avoid using Micotar Zp. It should also be avoided on large areas of broken skin, mucous membranes, the eyes, or in patients where a prescriber determines it is contraindicated.
