GYNOXIN Vaginal cream Ref.[8229] Active ingredients: Fenticonazole

Pharmacokinetic studies in humans have shown that systemic absorption of fenticonazole nitrate after vaginal administration is minimal.

LD₅₀ mice: oral>3000mg/kg; i.p 1276mg/kg (M), 1265mg/kg (F)

LD₅₀ rats: oral>3000mg/kg; s.c>750mg/kg; i.p. 440mg/kg (M), 309mg/kg (F)

Chronic toxicity: following oral administration of 40-80-160mg/kg/day for 6 months in rats and dogs, fenticonazole was well tolerated, although some evidence of light and moderate general toxicity occurred (increase in liver weight at 160mg/kg without histopathological alterations in rats, and a transient increase in serum SGPT at 80 and 160mg/kg, together with an increase in liver weight in dogs).

Fenticonazole does not interfere with the function of male and female gonads, and does not modify the first phases of reproduction. Studies in reproductive toxicology revealed, as for other imidazole derivatives, an embryolethal effect at high dosages (>20mg/kg). Fenticonazole has shown no teratogenic effects in rats and rabbits and has revealed no mutagenic potential in six mutagenicity tests.

Satisfactory results were obtained in tolerability tests performed in guinea pigs, rabbits as well as in mini-pigs, the skin of which is similar to that of humans, as far as morphology, functionality and sensitivity to irritating agents are concerned.

Fenticonazole has shown no evidence of sensitisation, phototoxicity and photoallergy.

Pharmacokinetic studies have revealed no transcutaneous absorption either in man or in animals and a very low vaginal absorption.
