How Rexgard F Products work
Fluocinolone acetonide + Miconazole is a combination of two medicines: Fluocinolone acetonide + Miconazole1 and Fluocinolone acetonide + Miconazole2, which treats skin infections. Fluocinolone acetonide + Miconazole1 is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Fluocinolone acetonide + Miconazole2 is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
