📄 Full prescribing information FDA SPL
🎯 Indications and Usage ▾
INDICATIONS AND USAGE Econazole Nitrate Cream is indicated for topical application in the treatment of tinea pedis, tinea cruris, and tinea corporis caused by Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton tonsurans, Microsporum canis, Microsporum audouini, Microsporum gypseum, and Epidermophyton floccosum, in the treatment of cutaneous candidiasis, and in the treatment of tinea versicolor.
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Sufficient Econazole Nitrate Cream, 1% should be applied to cover affected areas once daily in patients with tinea pedis, tinea cruris, tinea corporis, and tinea versicolor, and twice daily (morning and evening) in patients with cutaneous candidiasis. Early relief of symptoms is experienced by the majority of patients and clinical improvement may be seen fairly soon after treatment is begun; however, candidal infections and tinea cruris and corporis should be treated for two weeks and tinea pedis for one month in order to reduce the possibility of recurrence.
If a patient shows no clinical improvement after the treatment period, the diagnosis should be redetermined. Patients with tinea versicolor usually exhibit clinical and mycological clearing after two weeks of treatment.
⛔ Contraindications ▾
CONTRAINDICATIONS Econazole Nitrate Cream is contraindicated in individuals who have shown hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.
⚠️ Warnings ▾
WARNINGS Econazole Nitrate Cream is not for ophthalmic use.
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
ADVERSE REACTIONS During clinical trials, approximately 3% of patients treated with econazole nitrate cream, 1% reported side effects thought possibly to be due to the drug, consisting mainly of burning, itching, stinging, and erythema. One case of pruritic rash has also been reported.
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
Drug Interactions Warfarin Concomitant administration of econazole and warfarin has resulted in enhancement of anticoagulation effect. Most cases reported product application with use under occlusion, genital application, or application to large body surface area which may increase the systemic absorption of econazole nitrate. Monitoring of International Normalized Ratio (INR) and/or prothrombin time may be indicated especially for patients who apply econazole to large body surface areas, in the genital area, or under occlusion.
🤰 Pregnancy ▾
Pregnancy Econazole nitrate has not been shown to be teratogenic when administered orally to mice, rabbits or rats. Fetotoxic or embryotoxic effects were observed in Segment I oral studies with rats receiving 10 to 40 times the human dermal dose. Similar effects were observed in Segment II or Segment III studies with mice, rabbits and/or rats receiving oral doses 80 or 40 times the human dermal dose.
Econazole nitrate should be used in the first trimester of pregnancy only when the physician considers it essential to the welfare of the patient. The drug should be used during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy only if clearly needed.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
OVERDOSE Overdosage of econazole nitrate in humans has not been reported to date. In mice, rats, guinea pigs and dogs, the oral LD 50 values were found to be 462, 668, 272, and >160 mg/kg, respectively.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY After topical application to the skin of normal subjects, systemic absorption of econazole nitrate is extremely low. Although most of the applied drug remains on the skin surface, drug concentrations were found in the stratum corneum which, by far, exceeded the minimum inhibitory concentration for dermatophytes . Inhibitory concentrations were achieved in the epidermis and as deep as the middle region of the dermis.
Less than 1% of the applied dose was recovered in the urine and feces. Microbiology: Econazole nitrate has been shown to be active against most strains of the following microorganisms, both in vitro and in clinical infections as described in the INDICATIONS AND USAGE section. Dermatophytes Yeasts Epidermophyton floccosum Trichophyton mentagrophytes Candida albicans Microsporum audouini Trichophyton rubrum Malassezia furfur Microsporum canis Trichophyton tonsurans Microsporum gypseum Econazole nitrate exhibits broad-spectrum antifungal activity against the following organisms in vitro , but the clinical significance of these data is unknown .
