Micotar (Miconazole)

Miconazole, the active ingredient in Micotar, is an imidazole antifungal presented as a buccal formulation for buccal use. It treats oral candidiasis by eradicating Candida species and relieving symptoms such as soreness, burning, and altered taste. The buccal delivery provides direct contact with the oral mucosa, offering localized antifungal activity while limiting systemic exposure.

GNH USA supplies Micotar as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to EU GMP standards and provides reliable logistics for global distribution.

Micotar (miconazole) is used to treat fungal infections of the oral cavity.

Oral candidiasis: reduces fungal growth and relieves soreness, burning and taste disturbances. Denture‑associated stomatitis: helps control Candida overgrowth on denture surfaces. Oropharyngeal candidiasis: treats infection that extends to the throat.
