Frequently asked questions

What does Econazole Nitrate treat?

Econazole Nitrate (Econazole Nitrate) may be used to treat cutaneous candidiasis, tinea pedis, tinea versicolor, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.

How does Econazole Nitrate work?

Econazole Nitrate is a azole antifungal. Azole antifungals block a fungal enzyme (lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase) that the fungus needs to make ergosterol, a key building block of its cell membrane. Without enough ergosterol the membrane becomes leaky and unstable, which stops the fungus from growing and can cause it to break apart and die.

How much does Econazole Nitrate cost?

Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $0.36 per gm, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins. Pharmacies pay less for a same-class option, Ketoconazole — about $0.27 on the same basis.

Is there a coupon or discount for Econazole Nitrate?
