Indications

Fungal Infection Eczema Psoriasis

Ecostat cream is used to treat eczematous mycoses, psoriasis, tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea corporis (ring worm), tinea cruris (jock itch), inflammatory intertrigo, diaper dermatitis, and onychomycoses. For onychomycoses, local therapy with Econazole/Triamcinolone cream is recommended alongside an oral antimycotic.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy: Econazole itself does not cross the placenta, but triamcinolone acetonide does. Topical corticosteroids used during pregnancy have been linked to abnormalities in foetal development. It has not been established whether this finding applies to humans. Even so, topical steroids should not be used in pregnancy in large amounts or over long periods.

Lactation: Only a negligible amount of econazole passes into breast milk, and some triamcinolone may be excreted in small amounts too. For this reason, this cream should not be prescribed to a breastfeeding mother. If it is prescribed, breastfeeding should be stopped for the duration of treatment.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: For adults, apply this cream sparingly to the affected skin, no more than twice a day, ideally once in the morning and once in the evening. Do not cover it with an occlusive dressing, and do not use it on large areas of the body. Keep using the cream until the inflammation settles, but not for longer than 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, if you still need treatment, switch to a preparation that contains econazole or econazole nitrate alone. Pediatric use needs extra care. Children may be more open to HPA axis suppression and Cushing's syndrome from a topical corticosteroid than adults are, because their skin covers a larger area relative to their body weight. Use it with caution.
