Monistat Ointment (Generic)

Monistat Ointment (generic name: Miconazole Nitrate Ointment) is an antifungal medication formulated for the effective treatment of fungal and yeast infections of the skin. It belongs to the class of imidazole antifungals and works by inhibiting the growth of fungi that cause infection, providing relief from common symptoms such as itching, burning, irritation, and redness.

This ointment is commonly used for the treatment of athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), ringworm (tinea corporis), and cutaneous candidiasis (yeast infections of the skin). It may also be recommended for treating fungal infections around the corners of the mouth (angular cheilitis) or other localized fungal conditions as directed by a healthcare professional.

The smooth, easy-to-apply ointment base creates a protective layer on the skin, helping the active ingredient penetrate effectively into the affected area while soothing irritation.
