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]
