For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I've tried anything and everything for yeast infections as I get recurrent ones (not due to an underlying causes other than my vagina is moody) but terconazle is the best. I've tried boric acid, gentian violet, clotrimazole, diflucan.. all work OK but terconazole is the best IMO. The only downside is the first few days (I do the 7 days) it makes the itch worse, feels like a bunch of mosquito bites down there but it kicks the infection for a while and it makes me a little tingly. Doesn't cure it fully for me as my infections come back but I don't really have any side effects from it and it's cheap! Only $15 w/ insurance... plus I heard monistat BURNS so I've stayed far away from that."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Night 2 and the same thing happened on night 1. I wet the bed!! I have completely peed my bed, two nights in a row. This is not what I normally do! It has to be the cream inside me confusing my bladder? I put it in at night, right before I go to bed. I'm a mother of a two year old, and I have to change both of our sheets now. Ugh! Anyone else had/have this happen to them?"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I’m 30 weeks pregnant & I have BV & YI. I was prescribed Metronidazole cream and the Terconazole. My doctor said to take the BV cream first then the YI, I think to kill the smell. I’m currently on Day 3, I take the last dosage tonight & I never experienced itching or discomfort. The only side effect is the discharge. I’m not sure if it’s the medicine or the yeast coming out of me but I have to wear a panty liner to protect my underwear. I’m more comfortable now after reading everyone’s reviews."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "After reading these reviews I was very skeptical to try this once it was prescribed. I’ve tried over the counter monistat for yeast infections and the burning was almost unbearable.. so I was scared to use another vaginal cream. But to my surprise this did not burn AT ALL. There was a irritating tingling feeling on day one BUT a yeast infection is already irritating and it went away in like an hour. Day two I woke up a little itchy once I took the cream the symptoms went away almost immediately and I was good all day. Today is day three and I’m excited that I Almost feel back to myself! I would recommend this. I have had no side effects the only thing is some of the cream will come out so wear some panties you don’t care about or a liner lol !"

Terazol 3 (terconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Terazol 3 works for me every time especially if I have to take an antibiotic for a UTI. Diflucan does not always work. No side effects expect maybe the first day, I get a little slight burn but goes away pretty quickly and the medicine starts working immediately. After 48 hours I feel great, but take day 3 application and it feel 100% cured."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Went for my pap and gyn said I had a yeast infection but it was only on the inside. I had no symptoms or discomfort didn't even know I had one! She started me on the 3 day dose to nip it in the butt quick. Honestly I am not really a fan. My lower abdomen and pelvis are bloated and very painful each use (on dose 2 of 3). Not to mention I feel disgusting because it leaks out ew! My only advice is eat yogurt and if you have to use this product you better be able to hold a kegal clench for a whole night unless you want it on you panties or bed."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I don't know if the suppository works or not because I'm too tender to use the insert. The plunger is sharp and pointy and not like a tampon at all. I'm already extremely uncomfortable and there is no way this thing is going in me. This must have been made by a man. I feel like I'm cutting myself and can't get the plunger in deep enough to get the cream to where it needs to be to work"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I went to urgent care after having UTI symptoms for a week. After the doctor learned I had been on an antibiotic recently, he summed it up as a yeast infection (despite my urinalysis). I had already taken a diflucan a week prior, but still had the smallest amount of yeast. My plan was to get the UTI treated and then worry about the remaining yeast infection. I took 1 dose of the 3 day cream treatment with no issues. I went to my PCP a few days later and she wrote me an antibiotic for the UTI. With that under way, I finished out the cream. I used the second dose Wednesday night and the third dose Thursday night... woke up Friday in pain. As the weekend has progressed, my pain has gotten severe. I have a blister-like rash starting at my vagina and going on my bottom. I can barely sit down or wipe myself well due to the burning, cracked skin sensation. Using the restroom hurts so bad i get nauseated from the pain. i'm suffering needlessly because a doctor jumped to conclusions."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have a mild yeast infection , where I only experience irritation and a little itch here and there! I was prescribed terconazole 0.4 my first time ever having a yeast infection (21year old) & the first night I put the cream in (very easy to put in just put it into the syringe , place into your vag & release cream) , it worked wonders! It relieved the irritation and itch right away ! Now it's day 2 and I don't have irritation at all just still an itch here and there ! I have to use the cream for 5 more days & will update everyday "

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "My yeast infection from antibiotic Azithromycin ( I took it for a bad sinus infection) did not go away with 1 oral dose of fluconazole so went to doc for solution. She prescribed this and said it is strong. It is so strong my head feels like it was crushed under a car. Very painful headache. Yeast symptoms all gone after day 2 of 3. I wouldn't recommend this med, I've had better results using plain yogurt (have dairy allergy though so unable to use any longer). Cost was $10 at Walgreens with United Healthcare insurance."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had the worst yeast infection I’ve ever had, and was prescribed one fluconazole pill and 3 days of terconazole cream. First night of cream was a little uncomfortable but any of the ones I’ve taken cause some discomfort at first so I didn’t mind. After the second application I was excited when I woke up the next day because I felt great and knew I only had one more day of treatment. Well the day after my 3rd dose I was feeling so itchy and I thought maybe it was the panty liner I had been wearing but nope, this stuff made my YI WORSE!! I’m so itchy and burning now and have to wait through the weekend to call the doctor. Not to mention a lot of the cream spilled out of the tube uncontrollably!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I was prescribed the 3 day treatment for a yeast infection (I had very mild symptoms but noticed more discharge than usual and felt like I always had to pee - no itchiness). My dr said I had a vaginal infection. After taking the 3rd dose of terconazole, the discharge is gone, however, I now have severe itchiness inside and still have the frequent urge to urinate. My bladder or something inside feels like it’s throbbing every time I urinate then for hours after. It’s the weekend so I’m having to wait to speak with my dr on next steps. I’ve never experienced discomfort like this and based on the reviews I’m guessing these side effects are not normal or maybe my Doctor was wrong and I have a urinary infection"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is my first time using the cream. I had never heard of it but I am currently 31 weeks pregnant I've had a yeast infection for about 2 months it cleared up and then it keeps coming back so my OB prescribe me this. This is my first night using it and so far it's working really good I'm glad it doesn't burn like the other ones that I've gotten. Hopefully it continues to work and take this itchiness away because it's really aggravating. Especially I get swollen I normally just take a warm bathe that seemed to help. Didn't think I had it still until I went to the ob today and explained & he prescribed me this. It does tingle a little but I guess that mean it working. I just wish it goes away as I am sick of it ."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I saw negative reviews and should have followed my gut. I was prescribed terconazole 3 ovule for what we thought was yeast. Turns out it wasn't. Anyway, used one ovule for one night and woke up with body aches and feeling like I had Covid. My head hurt, I was tired, and my bones hurt. I was so weak. I called my doctor and they switched me over to Monistat 7. My itching became worse and it's been a year later. I've been diagnosed with vulvodynia now. Guess what? There is no "reason" that doctors give you for vulvodynia, but mine started right after taking this. I have burning, itching, and redness now all because I took this stupid medication. If you have yeast, ask for an oral dose. I'm angry that people state yeast causes vulvodynia. No, it doesn't. Monistat and tercanzole do!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "DO NOT USE. I had a pretty bad yeast infection so my OBGYN prescribed me this. It gave me horrible cramps and then a UTI!!! 100 times worse than the feeling of the YI. I read lots of reviews like this but used the medicine anyways. Do not be like me!! Read this and heed my warning! This shouldn't be prescribed to anyone. This was not an allergic reaction. It feels horrible and I would take 100 yeast infections over this feeling now. Avoid this medication at all costs"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "These 3-day suppositories worked very well. So much better than Monostat which caused burning. Worth getting a prescription for and paying extra. I had a coupon with GoodRX and the cost was $32. I have had no side effects so far. After the first dose, the itching and burning are gone! Wear a pad while using them."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Day 3 and the medication so far has not worked for me. I use it as directed, but all it does is instantly ooze out of me. Now my skin in that area is very red and irritated. So once the YI passes I will now need something to sooth my irritation."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have had vaginal issues for 3 weeks, tried to wait it out for one week, went to Dr for pill the second week, then they gave me terconazole. I have not been able to sleep since it started three weeks ago but with the terconazole I feel like I am absolutely on fire. I took the third dose hoping that would stop but it is worse now than the first night. I switched to a different plunger because the one provided had sharp edges and was very painful to use, the other plunger worked great but the burning is just unbearable, and I woke sick this morning, didn't connect it to the med until now. I got dizzy and nauseous feeling and the burning is horrible."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm 8 months pregnant and this was my first time using this. Yes it treated my YI but I think I had a horrible allergic reaction to it down there. I was taking Terconazole and Metronidazole at the same time. I've taken the Metronidazole before and never had any type of irritation. It kinda made me freak out because how bad the irritation was and that it caused my vagina to swell. I went back to see my ob and he put it in my chart to not use anymore. I already have a sensitive vagina as it is but this reaction to this medicine has ruined me"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I just found out I was pregnant & it seems like it instantly threw off my hormones. My Vagina was red it was hurting so I figured I had a YI. I called the nurse & she prescribed the terconazole cream .04 for 7 days. I normally take the fluconazole pill & that normally works for me. The 1st day my vag was onnnnn fireeeee. I literally had to force myself to sleep because the pain was intense 2nd day I was on fire as well but not that bad 3rd day. I was ok 4th day. Also my vagina isn't red anymore so far its working I just wear a panty liner to bed because its messy"
