What it is and what it is used for
Ganazolo contains econazole nitrate, which belongs to a class of medicines called “antifungals”, used to treat mycoses (infections caused by fungi).

Ganazolo is used for the treatment of:
- vaginal (internal) and external genital region infections in women caused by fungi (vulvovaginal mycoses);
- external genital infection in men caused by fungi (mycotic balanitis).

Consult your doctor if you do not feel better or feel worse.

What you need to know before taking the medicine
Do not use Ganazolo:
- if you are allergic to econazole nitrate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if you are allergic to other chemically similar substances to econazole (such as imidazole).

Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Ganazolo.

Ganazolo 10 mg/g vaginal cream and Ganazolo 150 mg suppositories are for vaginal use only.
Ganazolo 10 mg/g vaginal cream and Ganazolo 150 mg suppositories are not for ophthalmic or oral use: avoid contact with eyes and do not swallow the medicine.
