Abstract |
The therapeutic effectiveness of econazole and clotrimazole was evaluated in 178 women with clinical symptoms of vulvovaginal candidiasis and positive laboratory findings for Candida. The patients were randomly assigned to treatment with either 1% econazole vaginal cream or 100-mg clotrimazole vaginal tablets, each used once daily at bedtime for 7 days. The mycologic cure rates were comparable in the 2 treatment groups. There was a low incidence of local adverse reactions with both drugs.
