Safe product and/or breastfeeding is the best option.

Econazole is a topical imidazole antifungal used to treat tinea pedis, tinea cruris, tinea corporis, cutaneous candidiasis and tinea versicolor. topical cutaneous administration.

At the time of the last update, we found no published data on its excretion in breast milk.

The very low plasma absorption of econazole through the skin or vagina, less than 1% (Alvogen 2017, Mactal 2001, Benziger 1983), makes passage of significant amount into breast milk very unlikely.

Expert authors consider the use of this drug safe during lactation. (Hale, LactMed, Briggs 2015, Leachman 2006)

Do not apply on nipple-areola or clean thoroughly before breastfeeding.

The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
