Effectiveness
How Terazol 7 Affects PatientsTerconazole 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 bodyTerconazole 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.

5/18/2009 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.

9/13/2013 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.

4/7/2011 Terazol was a godsend. It worked quickly and efficiently when diflucan failed me. I would highly recommend it to anyone struggling with the same issue.
