For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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 the doctor for nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide cream. Numbs the area to completely relieve burning and itching."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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."

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

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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 recommend this to anybody that's having yeast problems."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm on a 3-day regimen. Though this product was very easy to use, and I felt no burning, itching, or pain whatsoever, and it does seem to be working, I did have a strange feeling in my lower abdomen. I have a flat stomach, and my stomach bloated up in that region and felt like I had fluid buildup underneath, like there was a water balloon inside! I searched for side effects, both on the medicine instruction manual and online, and have not found this to even be listed as a possible side effect reported. My thinking is that this medicine must foam up inside the vagina in order to cover every area inside needing treatment, but again there is no report of how it works once it is administered."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I was told it was safe by my OBGYN, even though I was only 7 weeks pregnant. Went against my gut instinct, trusted them, resulting in my miscarriage during the 3-day treatment. First treatment I administered was right before bed, and I started mild bleeding by the next morning (mind you, I had no bleeding or complications before this). Didn't even have symptoms of a yeast infection, so it was mild at best. Wish I never used it."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I’m currently 7 months pregnant and took an antibiotic for an infection, and of course, that gave me a YI. I was prescribed terconazole by my gyn for 3 days, and by the 1st morning, all of my symptoms were completely gone. I must say everybody doesn’t react to things the same, so you have to be mindful, that’s why your doctor asks you if you are 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 effective. I also drank plenty of water and stayed away from sugar because it actually encourages the yeast. Last night was my last dose, and it seems like all the yeast is not out of me because when I urinate, I don’t see any more. I’m completely satisfied."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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 terconazole 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 and itching away for a few hours. After that, it felt like I had fire ants in my vagina. My doctor has now called in Diflucan, and I’m praying it relieves me of my symptoms."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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. The 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."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I was experiencing extreme symptoms of what seemed to be vaginitis or a yeast infection... so I went in to see the doctor and was prescribed terconazole... I had been in agony for two weeks... But with just one application of the cream as directed, I experienced instant relief... I slept like a baby..."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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 it 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."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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 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."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I am 37 weeks pregnant and suffered yeast infections throughout the pregnancy. I used Monistat 7 and would experience burning and itching less than an hour after use. My doctor prescribed me this medication. Finally!!!!! Relief!!!! No burning, no 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."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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. I took it for 7 days. I felt like myself in 3 days. The doctor prescribed Fluconazole oral first, but that either wasn’t working or was taking too long to resolve the infection."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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 terconazole. 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."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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 for 3 days for me to have on hand. After getting a doozy of a YI last week, I read reviews on terconazole 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 nighttime 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."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I went to the gynecologist and said I had BV and a yeast infection, so he gave me tinidazole 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 my vagina is severely irritated from too much antifungal cream. I’m so annoyed. What’s the point of this medication killing the yeast infection but leaves you with a severely irritated vagina? Someone else has had the same experience? I’ll be needing some estrogen vaginal cream to soothe the irritation."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm 18, and I've never had a YI before, so when I started itching and burning, of course, I started freaking out! I had protected sex Saturday, and then Monday, all hell broke loose in my vagina. I was itching so bad that I Googled all of my symptoms, and it said I had BV. Monday night, I cried and 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 for 3 days and the pink nasty 2-day pill. I took the pill and cream yesterday, I slept like a baby, but tonight I'm a little itchy after using the 2nd dose. Hopefully, after the 3rd cream and 2nd pill, it'll be fully gone."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "While using the 3-day dose, I experienced headaches on the second night dose. Also, on my first and second dose, every now and then I would get an itching sensation. The third was pretty OK. I'm on my fourth dose now because I had some cream left over... hopefully this last one does the job completely. Plus, I've been eating yogurt... (first yeast infection)."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Terconazole is really great, and it’s my first time using it. I prefer Diflucan, but being pregnant, they won’t give you the pills. Terconazole is amazing because it doesn’t burn! It will leak a little once you get up in the morning, but it’s not bad if you use it at bedtime like you’re supposed to, and I felt much better the next morning."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "After fighting a stubborn yeast infection for 6 months, my doctor finally prescribed me something that worked. After reading the reviews, I was a little skeptical about whether or not it would work. One week free...the longest remission I've had in 6 months."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "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 different methods than this. There will be no sleeping through this misery."
