Gyno-Pevaryl Once is a vaginal product that contains the antifungal agent econazole nitrate. It is marketed in the European Union and belongs to the imidazole class of antifungal medicines. The formulation is intended for local application inside the vagina to treat fungal infections. Econazole nitrate works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. It is supplied as a single‑dose applicator for convenient use.

What does Econazole Nitrate interact with?

Econazole nitrate may interact with other substances applied vaginally or taken systemically; be aware of the following.
