Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Miconazole Nitrate 250 mg Capsules are a solid dosage form, composed of two shells, either gelatin or vegetarian, that enclose the medication. This design allows for easy swallowing and ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients. These capsules are primarily used for the treatment of various fungal infections, including athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm, and yeast infections. Additionally, they can be used to treat skin infections caused by bacteria, such as impetigo.

The capsules should be taken orally, with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider.

Discontinuing the medication prematurely without consulting your healthcare provider may lead to the infection returning or becoming resistant to treatment.

Miconazole Nitrate 250 mg Capsules may interact with other medications, including anticoagulants, other antifungals, and certain antibiotics. Therefore, it is essential to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are currently taking. This includes over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Miconazole Nitrate 250 mg Capsules are a potent antifungal medication designed to combat a range of fungal infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm, and yeast infections. The active ingredient, miconazole nitrate, functions by inhibiting the growth and spread of fungi, thereby effectively treating the infection. In addition to its antifungal properties, miconazole nitrate also aids in reducing inflammation and itching that are often associated with these infections.

The capsules are designed for oral administration and are typically taken once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the infection. The precise dosage enclosed within the two gelatin or vegetarian shells ensures accurate delivery of the medication. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms appear to improve. This is to ensure the complete eradication of the fungal infection and to prevent any potential recurrence.

While Miconazole Nitrate 250 mg Capsules are generally well-tolerated, they may cause some side effects in certain individuals. These may include stomach upset, vomiting, or an unpleasant taste in the mouth. If these side effects persist or worsen, or if you experience any serious side effects such as a rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing, seek immediate medical attention.

It is important to inform your healthcare provider of your complete medical history, as well as any other medications or supplements you are currently taking, as certain drugs may interact with Miconazole Nitrate 250 mg Capsules. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Miconazole Nitrate 250 mg Capsules, please consult your healthcare provider.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
