This medication is also used to treat a skin condition known as pityriasis (tinea versicolor), a fungal infection that causes a lightening or darkening of the skin of the neck, chest, arms, or legs.

How to use Biodantyl-c topical
Use this medication on the skin only. Clean and thoroughly dry the area to be treated. Apply this medication to the affected skin, usually twice a day or as directed by your doctor. If you are using the spray form, shake the bottle well before applying. Dosage and length of treatment depends on the type of infection being treated. Do not apply this more often than prescribed. Your condition will not clear faster, but side effects may be increased.
Apply enough medication to cover the affected area and some of the surrounding skin. After applying this medication, wash your hands. Do not wrap, cover or bandage the area unless directed to do so by your doctor.

Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
Biodantyl-c description
Biodantyl-c is an antifungal medication of the Imidazole class used to treat infections caused by a fungus or yeast. Biodantyl-c topical (skin) preparations are also available for ringworm, jock itch, athlete's foot, and tinea versicolor or "sun fungus". Biodantyl-c interacts with 14-± demethylase, a cytochrome P-450 enzyme that converts lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential component of the yeast membrane. In this way, tioconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, resulting in increased cellular permeability.
Biodantyl-c dosage
Biodantyl-c Dosage
Generic name: Biodantyl-c 50mg
Dosage form: buccal tablet
The information at Drugs.com is not a substitute for medical advice. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Basic Dosing Information
The recommended dosing schedule for Biodantyl-c is the application of one 50 mg buccal tablet to the upper gum region (canine fossa) once daily for 14 consecutive days.
Administration Instructions
Biodantyl-c should be applied in the morning, after brushing the teeth. The tablet should be applied with dry hands. The rounded side surface of the tablet should be placed against the upper gum just above the incisor tooth (canine fossa) and held in place with slight pressure over the upper lip for 30 seconds to ensure adhesion. The tablet is round on one side for comfort, but either side of the tablet can be applied to the gum.
Once applied, Biodantyl-c stays in position and gradually dissolves. [ See Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] Subsequent applications of Biodantyl-c should be made to alternate sides of the mouth. Before applying the next tablet, the patient should clear away any remaining tablet material. In addition,
- Biodantyl-c should not be crushed, chewed or swallowed.
- Food and drink can be taken normally when Biodantyl-c is in place but chewing gum should be avoided.
- If Biodantyl-c does not adhere or falls off within the first 6 hours, the same tablet should be repositioned immediately. If the tablet still does not adhere, a new tablet should be placed.
- If Biodantyl-c is swallowed within the first 6 hours, the patient should drink a glass of water and a new tablet should be applied only once.
- If Biodantyl-c falls off or is swallowed after it was in place for 6 hours or more, a new tablet should not be applied until the next regularly scheduled dose..
