Miconazole is an antifungal medication that belongs to a class of drugs called imidazoles. You might be prescribed a miconazole cream to treat athlete’s foot, ringworm, or yeast infections of the skin or vagina. There are also miconazole injections, which may be used to treat more serious fungal infections.
Miconazole also comes in tablet form, specifically a buccal tablet. These miconazole tablets aren’t swallowed. Instead, they’re designed to dissolve slowly in your mouth. Miconazole buccal tablets are used to treat thrush (oropharyngeal candidiasis), a fungal infection in the mouth and throat.
Here’s what you need to know about miconazole tablets, including how they’re used, the proper dosage, how to administer them, what side effects to watch out for, and other important precautions.
