Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Irritation: Discontinue if sensitivity or irritation occurs.

Dosage form specific issues:

• Benzyl alcohol and derivatives: Some dosage forms may contain benzyl alcohol and/or sodium benzoate/benzoic acid; benzoic acid (benzoate) is a metabolite of benzyl alcohol; large amounts of benzyl alcohol (≥99 mg/kg/day) have been associated with a potentially fatal toxicity (“gasping syndrome”) in neonates; the “gasping syndrome” consists of metabolic acidosis, respiratory distress, gasping respirations, CNS dysfunction (including convulsions, intracranial hemorrhage), hypotension, and cardiovascular collapse (AAP ["Inactive" 1997]; CDC 1982); some data suggests that benzoate displaces bilirubin from protein binding sites (Ahlfors 2001); avoid or use dosage forms containing benzyl alcohol and/or benzyl alcohol derivative with caution in neonates. See manufacturer's labeling.

• Flammable contents: Aerosol contains flammable propellants. Avoid fire, flame, and smoking during and immediately following administration.

• Fungoid tincture: Patients with diabetes, circulatory problems, renal or hepatic dysfunction should contact healthcare provider prior to self-medication (OTC use).

• Petrolatum-based: Vaginal products are petrolatum-based and may damage rubber or latex condoms or diaphragms; separate use by 3 days.

• Vaginal products: Consult with health care provider prior to self-medication (OTC use) if experiencing vaginal itching/discomfort, lower abdominal pain, back or shoulder pain, chills, nausea, vomiting, foul-smelling discharge, if this is the first vaginal yeast infection, or if exposed to HIV. Contact health care provider if symptoms do not begin to improve after 3 days or last longer than 7 days. May damage condoms or diaphragms.

Other warnings/precautions:

• Appropriate use: For topical use only; avoid contact with eyes. When used for self-medication (OTC use), contact health care provider if athlete's foot or ringworm does not improve within 4 weeks or if jock itch does not improve within 2 weeks; consult a doctor before using vaginal products if having vaginal itching or discomfort for the first time, lower abdominal pain, back or shoulder pain, fever or chills, nausea or vomiting, or foul-smelling vaginal discharge.

Warnings: Additional Pediatric Considerations

Some dosage forms may contain propylene glycol; in neonates large amounts of propylene glycol delivered orally, intravenously (eg, >3,000 mg/day), or topically have been associated with potentially fatal toxicities which can include metabolic acidosis, seizures, renal failure, and CNS depression; toxicities have also been reported in children and adults including hyperosmolality, lactic acidosis, seizures, and respiratory depression; use caution (AAP 1997; Shehab 2009).

For a complete list of drug interactions by individual drug name and detailed management recommendations, use the drug interactions program

Progesterone: Antifungal Agents (Vaginal) may decrease therapeutic effects of Progesterone. Risk X: Avoid

Vitamin K Antagonists: Miconazole (Topical) may increase serum concentration of Vitamin K Antagonists. Management: Avoid using any miconazole-containing preparation in patients who are taking warfarin. If coadministration is unavoidable, consider reducing warfarin dose 10% to 20% and monitor for increased warfarin effects (eg, INR, bleeding). Risk D: Consider Therapy Modification

Reproductive Considerations

Vaginal products may weaken latex condoms and diaphragms (CDC [Workowski 2021]).

Pregnancy Considerations

Following vaginal administration, small amounts are absorbed systemically (Stevens 2002).

Outcome data following vaginal use of miconazole during pregnancy are available (Czeizel 2004; Daniel 2018; Papadopoulos 2024; Rotem 2018; Zhou 2024). Some products may contain dimethyl sulfoxide; effects on pregnancy are not known.

Topical azole therapies with 7-day regimens are recommended in pregnant patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (CDC [Workowski 2021]). Shorter courses of topical azoles are less effective (Young 2001).

Monitoring Parameters

Skin irritation.

Mechanism of Action

Inhibits biosynthesis of ergosterol, damaging the fungal cell wall membrane, which increases permeability causing leaking of nutrients. Some products may contain dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to enhance miconazole penetration.

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Absorption: Topical: Negligible; Vaginal: Small amount absorbed systemically

Distribution: Into body tissues, joints, and fluids; poor penetration into sputum, saliva, urine, and CSF

Protein binding: 91% to 93%

Metabolism: In the liver

Half-life elimination: Multiphasic degradation: Alpha: 40 minutes; Beta: 126 minutes; Terminal: 24 hours

Excretion: Feces (~50%); urine (<1%, unchanged)
