Candoral Oral Gel 2% w/w is an antifungal preparation containing Miconazole Nitrate, specially formulated for the treatment of fungal infections of the mouth and throat. It is widely used in the management of oral candidiasis (oral thrush) and other susceptible fungal infections affecting the oral cavity. The gel formulation allows the medicine to adhere to the mucosal surfaces of the mouth, ensuring prolonged contact and effective antifungal action at the site of infection.

Candoral Oral Gel is suitable for use in adults, children, and infants (under medical supervision) and helps relieve symptoms such as soreness, redness, white patches, and discomfort associated with oral fungal infections.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Miconazole Nitrate 2% w/w

• Dosage Form: Oral Gel

• Pharmacological Class: Antifungal (Imidazole derivative)

Mechanism of Action

Miconazole Nitrate works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Disruption of ergosterol production leads to increased membrane permeability, leakage of cellular contents, and eventual death of the fungal cells. This action effectively eliminates Candida species and other fungi responsible for oral infections.

The gel formulation ensures prolonged retention in the oral cavity, allowing Miconazole to act directly on the affected areas and provide sustained antifungal activity.

Therapeutic Uses

Candoral Oral Gel 2% w/w is indicated for:

• Oral candidiasis (oral thrush)

• Fungal infections of the mouth and throat

• Denture-related stomatitis

• Angular cheilitis caused by fungal infection

• Prevention of fungal overgrowth in susceptible individuals under medical advice

It is particularly beneficial for patients using dentures, infants, elderly individuals, or immunocompromised patients.

Dosage and Administration

• The dosage and duration of treatment should be as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

• The gel should be applied to the affected areas of the mouth using a clean finger or applicator.

• It should be retained in the mouth for as long as possible before swallowing.

• Treatment should continue for at least one week after symptoms have resolved to prevent recurrence.

In infants, care should be taken to apply small amounts to avoid choking, following strict medical guidance.
