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.
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.
