The invention relates to an emulsion, e.g. in the form of a salve or a cream, with an aqueous phase and an oil phase, containing an NSAID, characterised in that: (a) the NSAID in the aqueous phase is in a concentration range that corresponds to half to a tenth of the standard concentration for these active substances； (b) the weight ratio of the water-to-oil phase in said emulsion is between the values 2.0 and 2.7； and (c) the pH value of the emulsion is not below the value 6.5 and not above 8.5, preferably in the region of between 7.0 and 8.0, particularly for application in the topical treatment of vaginal fungal infections.
