"I used Terconazole 0.4% for 7 days as prescribed by my doctor. The cream was easy to use but keeping it in place when needing to use the restroom at night did not work. The product came back out and my infection was not resolved. There was a bit of relief but no actual healing."

"Omg! My vagina is on fire. I’m severely itchy and irritated down there. I was diagnosed with BV and was given Metronidazole. This caused me to have a YI. My doctor then called me in a prescription of Tetrazondale to treat the yeast! It has been a nightmare. I can barely walk. I tried sitting in a warm bath, which only took the pain & itching away for a few hours. After that it felt like I fire ants in my vagina. My doctor has now called in Diflucan and I’m praying it relieves me of my symptoms."

"Currently on day 2 of this terconazole vagina treatment... so far my YI symptoms were relieved so we’ll see how it works after I’ve finished all of it. I’m pretty sure the “cream oozing out” is it bringing all the yeast out so don’t think the creams just coming out of you. If you’re still in pain using this, you probably just had an allergic reaction to it."

"The product did it's job stopping the infection but the tip of it is rather sharp for such a sensitive area. While taking the medication I was already inflammed which caused the sharp edges to make it rather difficult to insert. I am unaware if there is another method to make it easier."

"This medication is extremely worth it.. I’m on my third day and my yeast is cleared up.. I must say it works really well compared to other medications I was prescribed this is the best.. If you had a bad experience it had to be an allergic reaction or something because terconazole works miracles.. I highly recommended this to anybody thats having and yeast problems.."

"I’m currently 7 months pregnant and took an antibiotic for and infection and of course that gave me a YI. I was prescribed terconzaole by my gyn for 3 days and by the 1st morning all of my symptoms were completely gone. I must say everyone body doesn’t react to things the same so you have to be mindful that’s why your doctor ask you are you allergic to anything. I took a bath literally 30 minutes before inserting the Terconazole and 2 showers a day simply because I wanted to be completely clean so it can be more affective I also drunk plenty of water and stayed away from sugar because it actual encourages the yeast. Last night was my last dose and seems like all the yeast is not of me because when I urinate I don’t see any more I’m completely satisfied."

"This is my night #1 of 3 with the vaginal suppositories. I will say that I am having FAR more discomfort now than I was before I inserted the medicine. I can only pray the next 2 doses are far less irritating, burning and itching than tonight. I would much rather try a different methods than this. There will be no sleeping through this misery."

"I've dealt with chronic yeast infections for years. Sometimes I'll go months without but other times, I get one once a month. The 7 day treatment is the only thing that works for me. I've used this medication for at least 9 years as needed. Highly recommend it!! And for outer itching, ask doctor for nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide cream. Numbs the area to completely relieve burning and itching."

"Terconazole 0.8% made my itching go away while it was inserted, but it did not clear the infection. I had a little extra cream and so I have used it 4 nights in a row even though it is supposed to work after 3. I have to add that this is a tough infection I've had for at least 3 months, and I am pregnant which makes it even more difficult to heal. Obviously this won't be the case for everyone."

"I had a severe lingering yeast infection (first ever at 26!) that 3 doses of fluconazole couldn't wipe out. My doc prescribed me a 7 night treatment of terconazole because she thought a more direct medication might help. 1st night was a nightmare to get the applicator in - there's no closed off, rounded end like a tampon so you can't really just push it in, and my vaginal opening was already swollen and sore. As the infection got better, it was easier to insert. I did experience side effects of mild cramping, stomachaches, gassiness, and sensitivity to smell. Food smells would give me nausea and headaches at the same time. The effects of the cream weren't as immediate as the pills, so I wasn't sure if it was working at first but kept going as instructed. I just finished my 7th dose last night, and the infection seems to be gone. I feel pretty normal again. Very relieved that this worked for me and even more relieved to be done with it."

"After 2 weeks of an infection...2 shots of Rocephin and steroids and Augmentin, I got a raging YI. Burning, itching and thick discharge...called MD, she called in 3 days of Fluconazole and Terconazole. Took the 1st pill in daytime, then waited before bed to do the insert. Holy moly mother of God...my world was on FIRE!!!! The burning was so intense I could only imagine comparable to a hot fire poker covered in acid. Thought it would ease up, then the insert leaked out of my vagina and commenced an attack on my other womanly bits. Got up and showered, no relief...finally went to sleep and woke up with swollen MEGA Vaj"

"I often get yeast infections. This medicine is very effective for me and provides immediate relief. I rubbed a small amount on the vulva (which stopped the itching and discomfort immediately) in addition to the nightly applicator dose. No side effects; just relief, and it worked like magic on my yeast infection. Took it for 7 days. Felt like myself in 3 days. Doctor prescribed Fluconazole oral first, but that either wasn’t working or was taking too long to resolve infection."

"I am 37 weeks pregnant and suffered yeast infections through out the pregnancy. I used monistat 7 and would experience burning and itching less that an hour after use. My doctor prescribed me this medication. Finally!!!!! Relief!!!! No burning, no it itching, only a slight cramp which I could deal with. Today is day one. Use it before sleep, not while your day is going by. I'm feeling so much better in such a short period of time. Seems like some people experienced some side effects which I hope I don't. So far so good."

"I've only ever had 2 yeast infections in my life (I'm in my mid 30s) and got the most recent one a few days ago. This time I went to the gyno because with my first ever YI I used otc monistat and reacted horribly to it. For this YI I was prescribed the 3 day cream course of terconazole. Yesterday I applied just a little to the outside area to make sure it wouldn't burn or have a side effects...it didn't and provided almost immediate relief from the itching. So I applied the recommended internal dosage and went to sleep. In the morning my symptoms were completely gone. I've had no bad side effects whatsoever and even the soreness in my lower pelvis from the infection is also gone. I'm finishing the course so the infection doesn't come back and am glad this worked so well for me. I find it to be a very gentle and effective treatment."

"I'm five weeks pregnant, and I never had a yeast infection before. After consulting my Ob-Gyn and explaining the discomfort I've been feeling, she prescribed this cream for me. Honestly after the very first night of applying the cream I felt complete relief. I have two more nights left but I already feel completely fine."

"This is the meanest diabolical cream. Not sure what sick experiment this is. Do not believe good review, probably someone from drug company. I had instant cramping, burnt the inside of me and the outside. Did not work!! Report to health Canada, the company itself or FDA. Needs to go!!!"

"I cannot take over the counter meds like Monistat, I have terrible reactions to it. So a few years ago when I had a yeast infection that seemed like it wouldn't go away I was prescribed terconozale. I used the 7 day and it cleared everything right up and I felt great. I'm on it again now I'm only on day 2 of 7 but it's already helping with the symptoms."

"I'm 18 & I've never had a YI before so when I started itching & burning, of course, I started freaking out! I had protected sex Saturday & then Monday all hell broke loose in my vagina I was itching so bad that I Googled all of my symptoms & it said I had BV. Monday night I cried & got NO SLEEP because I was up scratching. So Tuesday I said F THIS, I need answers. I made an appointment the same day to my OBGYN and I told her I thought it was an allergic reaction to the condom but she said I had a YI. She put me on terconazole 3 days & the pink nasty 2 day pill. I took the pill & cream yesterday, I slept like a baby & but tonight I'm a lil itchy after using the 2nd dose. Hopefully after the 3rd cream & 2nd pill it'll be fully gone."

Terazol 7 (terconazole) "I started having at itchy mouth/throat with ulcers developing on day 5, not realizing I was having an allergic reaction. On day 7, I went to bed and woke up at 5am then almost blacked out while laying in the bed, sweating and my whole abdominal area swelled up from below by breast area all the way down. It was the weirdest feeling I've ever had and thought I was literally going to die. I grabbed 2 Benadryl immediately (thank goodness I had it) and got immediately to the doctor. This happened 4 weeks ago. And I am still not over the itchy roof of my mouth and still have a few ulcers. I am 42 yrs old and I have used this medicine several times over the years so I don't know what happened, but I want to tell other women to please be careful."

"This cream is wonderful. I used the 1 night dose cream and I swear it cleared me right up. I was worried with a 1 dose that it would be too strong and make me hurt worse, but that was not the case. Don't be afraid, give it a try."

"I went to gynecologist said I had BV and Yeast infection so he gave me tinadizole antibiotics for the BV and the 7 day terconazole .. I had itching before , but I’m on day 3 and I still feel a stingy sensation and itchy sensation inside and outside my vagina . I have used this medication before but it never did this to me before . But now I don’t know what’s going on . Feels like vagina is severely irritated from too much antifungal creams .. I’m so annoyed. What’s the point of this medication killing the yeast infection but leaves u with a severely irritated vagina . Someone else has had the same experience?? I’ll be needing some estrogen vaginal cream to soothe the irritation"

"I get recurrent YI and used to take one or two rounds of diflucan until I started getting an allergic reaction to it. So my last visit my doctor prescribed terconazole 3 day for me to have on hand. After getting a doozy of a YI last week I read reviews on terconozole and was a little skeptical but had nothing else to try. I tried it and am so happy I did. I was so desperate for relief the first day that I used it during the day, and that was a mistake. Everything poured out! It’s best to use at night time so everything mostly stays inside. After day two I was almost discharge free and the discomfort was better by day four and five. I know everyone is different but this worked wonders for me."

"I never knew I had a yeast infection, I thought a little itchiness was a common thing, but apparently not. I was on this cream for 7 days and I've had no problems. The only annoying thing is that it leaks out a little and it feels weird. I don't know if it's helped any since my infection wasn't bad, but I haven't had any itching or any discomfort since using this."

"I was disappointed when my midwife prescribed terconazole cream for my YI. I've never had success with OTC creams like Monistat before so I expected the same. I prefer fluconazole because the pill always works for me, but I'm pregnant and can't currently take it. My cream was the 3 day .8% intravaginal suppository. By day 2 most of my symptoms were gone, and by day 3 I had no symptoms. The leaking of cream after insertion was not an issue for me, not much actually drained out anyway, and besides I'd rather deal with cream drainage than itchiness and burning any day. I did experience nausea in the mornings, but again, I'm pregnant so it could've been unrelated to the medication. Terconazole worked great for me, I'd use again if needed."
