4.3. Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.

4.4. Special warnings and precautions for use

When applied to the lesion, a slight burning sensation may be felt which disappears rapidly.

Avoid contact with the eyes; should this happen, rinse thoroughly with water.

The use, especially if extended, of products for topical use, may give rise to sensitization.

In such case, interrupt the treatment and consult a physician to commence an appropriate therapy.

4.5. Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

There are no known interactions with other medicines.

4.6. Pregnancy and lactation

Fertility

No human studies of the effects of fenticonazole on fertility have been conducted, however animal studies have not demonstrated any effects of the drug on fertility (see Section 5.3).

Pregnancy

There are limited amount of data from the use of fenticonazole in pregnant women. Studies in animals have shown no teratogenic effects, but embriotoxic and fetotoxic effects have been observed only at very high doses administered orally (see Section 5.3). Entirely negligible absorption occurs by the transcutaneous route (see Section 5.2). Fenticonazole should be used in pregnancy under the supervision of a physician.

Lactation

Animal studies via the oral route have shown that fenticonazole and/or its metabolites can be excreted in the milk (see Section 5.3). Even if no data are available showing that dermatological administration of fenticonazole in humans causes its and /or its metabolites excretion into the milk, a risk for the baby cannot be excluded. Fenticonazole should be used during lactation under the supervision of a physician.

4.7. Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Lomexin has no influence on ability to drive and use machines.

4.8. Undesirable effects

When used as recommended, Lomexin is only poorly absorbed and systemic undesirable reactions are not expected. Prolonged use of topical products can cause sensitisation (see section 4.4).
