Econazole is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch. It belongs to the class of drugs known as imidazoles, which work by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption leads to increased permeability of the fungal cell membrane, ultimately causing cell death.
