About Oravig

What is this medication?

Oravig is a prescription antifungal medicine used to treat oropharyngeal candidiasis, which is a fungal infection of the mouth and throat more commonly known as thrush. This medication contains the active ingredient miconazole and is specifically formulated as a buccal tablet. Unlike traditional pills that are swallowed, this tablet is applied directly to the upper gum inside the mouth, where it adheres and slowly dissolves. This delivery method allows the medication to be released directly into the oral cavity over several hours to fight the yeast causing the infection.

The medication works by interfering with the structure of the fungal cell membranes, which stops the growth of the Candida fungus and helps clear the symptoms of thrush. It is primarily prescribed for adults, including those who may have weakened immune systems due to other medical conditions. Because of its sustained-release design, Oravig is typically applied only once daily, providing a continuous dose of antifungal treatment to the mouth area throughout the day without the need for frequent rinsing or multiple lozenges.

Prescribing information

From the FDA-approved label for Oravig. Official source: DailyMed (NLM) · Label effective Jan 8, 2026

Indications and usage
1 INDICATIONS & USAGE ORAVIG is indicated for the local treatment of oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) in adults. ORAVIG is an azole antifungal indicated for the local treatment of oropharyngeal candidiasis in adults.
Dosage and administration
2 DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION Application of one ORAVIG 50 mg buccal tablet to the gum region once daily for 14 consecutive days (2.1) . Instruct patients not to crush, chew, or swallow tablets (2.2) . 2.1 Basic Dosing Information The recommended dosing schedule for ORAVIG is the application of one 50 mg buccal tablet to the upper gum region (canine fossa) once daily for 14 consecutive days. 2.2 Administration Instructions ORAVIG 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, ORAVIG stays in position and gradually dissolves. [ See Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] Subsequent applications of ORAVIG 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, ORAVIG should not be crushed, chewed or swallowed. Food and drink can be taken normally when ORAVIG is in place but chewing gum should be avoided. If ORAVIG 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 ORAVIG 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 ORAVIG 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. [ see Patient Counseling Information (17) ].
Contraindications
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS ORAVIG is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylaxis) to miconazole, milk protein concentrate, or any other component of the product. Known hypersensitivity to miconazole, milk protein concentrate, or any other component of the product.
Warnings and precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity reactions: Anaphylactic reactions have been reported in patients receiving miconazole. Discontinue ORAVIG immediately at the first sign of hypersensitivity (5.1). 5.1 Hypersensitivity Allergic reactions, including anaphylactic reactions and hypersensitivity, have been reported with the administration of miconazole products, including ORAVIG. Discontinue ORAVIG immediately at the first sign of hypersensitivity. There is no information regarding cross-hypersensitivity between miconazole and other azole antifungal agents. Monitor patients with a history of hypersensitivity to azoles.
Drug interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Warfarin: Miconazole may enhance anticoagulant effect. Monitor prothrombin time, INR, and watch for bleeding (7.1). 7.1 Warfarin Concomitant administration of miconazole and warfarin has resulted in enhancement of anticoagulant effect. Cases of bleeding and bruising following the concomitant use of warfarin and topical, intravaginal, or oral miconazole were reported. Closely monitor prothrombin time, International Normalized Ratio (INR), or other suitable anticoagulation tests if ORAVIG is administered concomitantly with warfarin. Also monitor for evidence of bleeding. 7.2 Drugs Metabolized Through CYP 2C9 and 3A4 No formal drug interaction studies have been performed with ORAVIG. Miconazole is a known inhibitor of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4. Although the systemic absorption of miconazole following ORAVIG administration is minimal and plasma concentrations of miconazole are substantially lower than when given intravenously, the potential for interaction with drugs metabolized through CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 such as oral hypoglycemics, phenytoin, or ergot alkaloids cannot be ruled out.
Adverse reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse drug reactions are discussed in detail in other sections of labeling: Hypersensitivity reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Most common adverse reactions (≥2%) are: diarrhea, headache, nausea, dysgeusia, upper abdominal pain, and vomiting (6.1). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Galt Pharmaceuticals, LLC Marietta, GA 30067 at 1-833-757-0904 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. The overall safety of ORAVIG was assessed in 480 adult subjects: 315 HIV-infected subjects, 147 subjects with head and neck cancer, and 18 healthy subjects. HIV Infected Patients Two trials were conducted in immunocompromised HIV-infected patients: one randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled design (N = 290 ORAVIG, 287 control) and one non-comparative trial (N = 25). In the randomized, double blind trial (Study 1), 290 HIV infected subjects used ORAVIG once daily for 14 days, and 287 subjects used 10 mg clotrimazole troches five times daily for 14 days. Adverse reactions occurring in ≥ 2% of patients in either treatment are presented in Table 1.

Head and Neck Cancer Patients In the randomized, open-label comparative trial of oropharyngeal candidiasis in patients with head and neck cancer who had received radiation therapy (Study 2), 147 patients used ORAVIG once daily for 14 days and 147 patients used 125 mg of miconazole oral gel four times daily for 14 days. Adverse reactions occurring in ≥2% of patients in either arm are listed in Table 2.

Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal data, ORAVIG may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. There are no available data on ORAVIG use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, prolonged gestation, dystocia and/or increased number of resorptions were observed after oral administration of miconazole nitrate during organogenesis to pregnant rats and rabbits. (See Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the US general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriages in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data: Miconazole nitrate administered orally at doses of 80 mg/kg/day or higher to pregnant rats or rabbits crossed the placenta and resulted in embryo- and fetotoxicity, including increased fetal resorptions. These doses also resulted in prolonged gestation and dystocia in rats, but not in rabbits. Embryofetotoxicity was not observed in intravenous studies with miconazole at lower doses of 40 mg/kg/day in rats and 20 mg/kg/day in rabbits, which are approximately 8 times higher than the dose a patient would receive if she swallowed an ORAVIG buccal tablet, based on body surface area comparisons. Teratogenicity was not reported in any animal study with miconazole.
