Isoconazole is an azole antifungal drug and could inhibit gram positive bacteria.[1][2] For foot and vaginal infections, isoconazole has a similar effectiveness to clotrimazole.[3][4] Isoconazole nitrate may be used in combination with corticosteroid diflucortolone to increase its bioavailability.[1]
It was patented in 1968 and approved for medical use in 1979.[5]
