Fenticonazole vaginal ovules of 200 mg, 600 mg and 1,000 mg were administered to 42 women prior to gynecological surgery. Tissue concentrations in the vaginal mucosa were determined after 3 h and 12 h in biopsy specimens taken from the same position in the posterior fornix. Tissue concentrations were higher at 3 h in comparison to 12 h with all 3 doses. There was no statistical difference between the concentrations yielded by the 3 different ovules at 3 h, while after 12 h the concentrations were dose-dependent and significantly higher after 1,000 mg in comparison to 200 mg, but not to 600 mg.
