Possible side effects

Usually, Lomexin is well tolerated. The occurrence of systemic effects is unlikely due to the very low level of absorption of fenticonazole in the skin or vaginal mucosa. However, in case of skin lesions, administration on large areas of the skin or in the infant (due to the body surface area / weight ratio as well as the effect of diapers) the possibility of their appearance must be considered.

Rarely, manifestations of local intolerance such as burning sensation or exacerbation of pruritus may occur, which subside during treatment. Allergic reactions may also occur.

Treatment should be discontinued in case of local intolerance or an allergic reaction.
