• Persistent or worsening vaginal irritation.
• Development of a new rash or hives elsewhere on the body.

When using Gyno-Pevaryl Once, certain precautions should be observed to ensure safe and effective treatment.

• Confirm the diagnosis of vaginal candidiasis before initiating therapy.
• Avoid using the product if you have a known hypersensitivity to econazole nitrate or other imidazole antifungals.
• Do not insert the applicator deeper than recommended, and follow the provided instructions for use.
• Refrain from sexual intercourse, tampon use, or douching until treatment is completed and symptoms have resolved.
• Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist beyond the typical treatment duration.
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if a severe allergic reaction occurs.

Gyno-Pevaryl Once may interact with other vaginal products or systemic medications, so awareness of potential interactions is important.

Avoid

• Concurrent use of other topical antifungal agents in the vagina, which may increase local irritation.
• Insertion of tampons, menstrual cups, or douches during treatment, as they can disrupt drug delivery.
• Simultaneous application of spermicidal products or lubricants containing non‑compatible ingredients.

Use with caution

• Systemic azole antifungals (e.g., fluconazole) – combined therapy may increase the risk of hepatic effects.
• Hormonal contraceptives – although no direct interaction is known, monitor for any changes in efficacy.
• Antibiotic therapy – may alter vaginal flora and affect treatment outcomes.
