Vusion

What is Vusion

Vusion is Miconazole petrolatum zinc oxide ointment is used as an adjuvant treatment for diaper dermatitis complicated by candidiasis.

Candidiasis must be documented with microscopic evidence of pseudohyphae and/or budding yeast prior to initiating treatment; a positive fungal culture for Candida albicans is not adequate evidence of candidal infection, as colonization with C. albicans can result in a positive culture.

Vusion ointment has only been studied in immunocompetent pediatric patients older than 4 weeks of age.
