| Section 4.5 Interactions with other Medicaments and other forms of Interaction
Econazole is a known inhibitor of CYP3A4/2C9. Although not studied, based on the chemical similarity of econazole with other imidazole compounds, a theoretical potential for competitive interaction with compounds metabolized by CYP3A4/2C9 exists.Due to the limited systemic availability after vaginal application (see Section 5.2. Pharmacokinetic Properties), clinically relevant interactions are unlikely to occur but have been reported with oral anticoagulants. In patients on taking oral anticoagulants, such as warfarin and or acenocoumarol, caution should be exercised and the anticoagulant effect should be monitored more frequently.
Adjustment of the oral anticoagulant dosage may be necessary during and after the treatment with econazole.
Section 4.9 Overdose
This product is intended for vaginal use. Overdose with econazole nitrate has not been reported to date. Adverse events associated with overdose or misuse of Gyno-Pevaryl Vaginal Pessaries are expected to be consistent with adverse drug reactions already listed in Section 4.8. (Undesirable effects).
In the event of accidental ingestion, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea may occur. If necessary treat symptomatically.
