What does it do?

Econazole nitrate belongs to the class of antifungals and is primarily used to treat fungal infections that occur on the skin and mucous membranes. This ingredient suppresses the growth of fungi, alleviating the symptoms at the infection site.

Econazole nitrate interferes with the synthesis of ergosterol, which is a crucial component of the fungal cell membrane, preventing fungal cells from functioning normally. As a result, fungal cells are destroyed, and the infection is treated.
