Abstract
An evaluation of lingering antimycotic effect of miconazole nitrate cream 2% was evaluated on the skin of 20-healthy subjects (16 male and 4 female) after a single dose of application. The test spots were covered with bandage. The tape strippings were taken at various intervals of time from the test area, and applied on the agar surface which was priorly inoculated with Trichophyton mentagrophytes isolated from a patient with the symptoms of onychomycosis. The lingering effect of miconazole nitrate was determined by the degree of inhibition of growth of the fungus under the tape. The test drug showed lingering effect from 36 to 48 hours.
