Description of Terazol 7 Cream

A vaginal yeast infection is something about 75% of women will experience at some time in her life, and it can make life absolutely miserable. Terazol 7 Cream or generic Terconazole is a prescription antifungal medicine your doctor may recommend to end the infection and the symptoms of itching, burning, redness, and discharge. You can return to work, school, or family and social events without the embarrassing symptoms. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Terazol 7 Cream Causes Structural Faults to Fungal Cell Membranes

Once you fill the applicator with Terazol 7 Cream and have inserted it into your vaginal opening as directed, it will work by targeting a fungal enzyme called lanosterol 14 a-demethylase so it cannot convert lanosterol to an important class of organic molecules called ergosterol. Without ergosterol, the fungal membrane offers no protection as holes will form and its contents leak out while other substances are seeping in and the fungi cannot survive. Terazol 7 Cream has also shown to be directly toxic to yeast.

Risk Factors for a Yeast Infection

Your body is home to a balanced mix of many bacteria and fungi, inside and out and are fairly harmless until there is a change of some sort. A certain bacteria called lactobacillus produces acid that keeps the overgrowth of yeast under control but if that balance is upset, the yeast can cause an infection.

Risk factors for a vaginal yeast infection include the use of antibiotics as they can kill the bacteria that controls the growth of yeast; increased estrogen levels from birth control pills, hormone therapy, or during pregnancy; a compromised immune system that allows infections to occur as your body is not able to fight it off as well; poorly controlled diabetes with high blood glucose levels; and sexual activity that can spread the Candida fungus.

Before Terazol 7 Cream is Prescribed

Ask your doctor if there are any risks to using Terazol 7 Cream while you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or are breast feeding. Report other medical conditions or allergies to your doctor and list any OTC or Rx meds you currently take or use, including alternative medicine and naturopathic therapies. This will help your doctor determine if Terazol 7 Cream is right for you.

Terazol 7 Cream Recommendations and Proper Use

To avoid infecting your partner, abstain from intercourse until Terazol 7 Cream treatment has ended or use a condom to reduce the risk.The number ‘7’ indicates the number of consecutive days to use Terazol 7 Cream.

Do not douche or use tampons during this treatment. An unscented sanitary pad can be used during menstruation or as a way to protect clothing from any leakage as Terazol 7 Cream will become less thick from your body heat. Start wearing looser fitting pants, clean/dry cotton underpants, and stockings in place of pantyhose to reduce your risk of vaginal yeast infections.
