Control of Candida albicans murine vaginitis by topical administration of polycarbophil-econazole complex

Abstract

The complexation of econazole with the mucoadhesive polycarbophil was found to significantly improve the therapeutic benefit of the drug in the topical treatment of experimental vaginal candidiasis in mice, while no difference in the antimycotic activity exerted by econazole and polycarbophii-econazole could be detected in vitro.
