Indications

Ecoren® T cream is indicated for the treatment of steroid-responsive inflammatory dermatomycoses with Econazole sensitive mycotic and/or bacterial superinfections.


Dosage and administration

Ecoren® T cream should be applied to the affected skin area in the morning and in the evening and rub in gently.
Do not use occlusive dressing. Like with other steroidal preparations, the treatment with Ecoren® T cream should, if possible, be limited to 3-4 weeks.


Use in pregnancy & lactation

There is no information of any abnormality or adverse event in neonates while Ecoren ® T cream had been used during pregnancy. As the systemic absorption of Econazole Nitrate cream is extremely low after topical use, excretion in breast is likely to be negligible. So it can be used topically/vaginally during lactation if needed.


Geriatric use
No Data

Precautions

Hypersensitivity has rarely been recorded. If something like this occurs, administration of this product should be discontinued. The infected area should be kept clean and dry during treatment.

Warning
Avoid prolonged applications to the skin and to the face.


Side effects
Rarely transient and mild irritation, itching & redness may occur immediately after application. Econazole has minimal allergic effect. It is well tolerated, even by delicate skin. Local irritations are not likely to occur, except in rare case, e.g., in eczematous skin areas. In such cases, antieczematous treatment is recommended for several days before therapy with Econazole is initiated.
