Effectiveness
How Terazol 7 Affects Patients
Terconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections inside the vagina. It works by blocking an enzyme called 14-alpha-demethylase, which stops the growth of fungus. This leads to a decrease in the amount of a certain type of fat (ergosterol) found in the fungal membrane, which disrupts the structure and functions of the membrane and prevents the fungus from growing.
How Terazol 7 works in the body
Terconazole interferes with the normal functioning of fungal cell membranes. It prevents a certain enzyme from working, which results in an increase of some sterols and a decrease of others. This causes the fungal cell membrane to become unstable, preventing the fungus from being able to grow.
