About Econazole Nitrate

What is this medication? Econazole nitrate is a topical antifungal medication primarily used to treat various types of fungal and yeast infections of the skin. It belongs to a class of drugs known as azole antifungals, which work by slowing the growth of fungus and disrupting the integrity of fungal cell membranes. Health care providers commonly prescribe this cream to manage conditions such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm. Beyond these common fungal issues, econazole nitrate is also utilized to treat cutaneous candidiasis and tinea versicolor, a condition that causes small patches of light or dark skin. The medication is typically applied directly to the affected area once or twice daily as instructed by a physician. It is important for patients to continue using the cream for the full duration prescribed, even if symptoms like itching or redness improve quickly, to prevent the infection from recurring.

Prescribing information

From the FDA-approved label for Econazole Nitrate. Official source: DailyMed (NLM) · Label effective Apr 10, 2026

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.

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.

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.

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.
