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.

Terazol 7 for Yeast Infection of Vagina and Vulva

Terazol is incredibly effective against yeast infections, with symptoms clearing up after the first use. I would suggest following the instructions and using it before bedtime, as it can be messy. I used it a few hours before bed and found that it leaked out easily when I peed; make sure to wear a pad overnight.

Terazol 7 for Yeast Infection of Vagina and Vulva

I unfortunately had to discontinue using this cream after just two days due to the intolerable burning and irritation it caused in my nether regions. It was so bad that I'm still experiencing pain walking and sitting, and urination is agony.
