Adults:
Econazole vaginal tablet: Insert one tablet deep into the vagina at bedtime for three consecutive nights. Treatment should be continued even if menstruation occurs. Although a three-night course is often sufficient, longer courses are advisable for women with recurrent vaginal infections. Econazole 30 gm cream: Fill the supplied applicator with econazole cream and insert it deep into the vagina at bedtime, once or twice daily. Econazole 10 gm cream: Apply sparingly to the affected area once or twice daily until improvement occurs. Sufficient econazole cream should be applied to cover the 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. Most patients experience early relief of symptoms, and clinical improvement may be seen fairly soon after treatment begins; however, to reduce the possibility of recurrence, candidal infections and tinea cruris and corporis should be treated for two weeks, and tinea pedis for one month. If a patient shows no clinical improvement after the treatment period, the diagnosis should be reconsidered. Patients with tinea versicolor usually show clinical and mycological clearing after two weeks of treatment.
Side Effects
During clinical trials, approximately 3% of patients treated with Ecomet 1% cream reported sideeffects thought possibly to be due to the drug, consisting mainly of burning, itching, stinging, and erythema. One case of a pruritic rash has also been reported.
