✔️ Dosage & Administration of Ecozol 1% Cream

The specific dosage and administration guidelines for Ecozol 10 Cream vary depending on the condition being treated.

For other skin conditions, it should be applied sparingly to the affected area once or twice daily, as directed by a physician.

✔️ Interaction

Ecozol 1% Cream may interact with warfarin, a blood thinner, potentially increasing its anticoagulant effects. Additionally, when applied to a large body surface area, the vaginal area, or under occlusion (such as with a dressing), it may lead to increased systemic absorption of econazole nitrate. Monitoring of the International Normalized Ratio (INR) and/or prothrombin time may be recommended in such cases.
