Despite the limited systemic availability after skin application, clinically relevant interactions with other medicinal products may occur and some have been reported in patients receiving oral anticoagulants, such as warfarin and acenocoumarol. In patients receiving oral anticoagulants, caution should be exercised and the INR should be monitored more frequently. An adjustment of the dosage of the oral anticoagulant drug may be necessary during treatment with econazole and after its discontinuation.

In case of hypersensitivity reactions it is necessary to interrupt the treatment and institute a suitable therapy. Report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system.

PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING
Animal studies have shown reproductive toxicity. The risk in man is not known. In humans, after topical application on intact skin, the systemic absorption of econazole is low (<10%). There are no adequate and controlled studies, nor epidemiological data, on the undesirable effects deriving from use in pregnancy. Due to systemic absorption, it should not be used during the first trimester of pregnancy unless the doctor considers it necessary for the patient's health. It can be used during the second and third trimester of pregnancy if the potential benefit to the mother outweighs the possible risks to the fetus. After oral administration of econazole nitrate to lactating rats, econazole and / or its metabolites were excreted in breast milk and detected in pups. It is not known whether dermal administration of the drug can cause sufficient systemic absorption of econazole to produce detectable concentrations of the same in human breast milk. Caution should be used when administered to breastfeeding women. The results deriving from reproduction studies conducted in animals have shown no effects on fertility.
