How long terconazole keeps
No terconazole label we read sets a separate limit for after opening, but they do specify how it must be stored — and the stability behind any date assumes those conditions.
Does terconazole expire? The in-use limits and storage rules from its labelsWhat people report to the FDA about terconazole
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 861 reports naming terconazole, and the FDA flagged 57% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- chronic kidney disease69 reports
- nausea55 reports
- headache51 reports
- anxiety49 reports
- urinary tract infection45 reports
- fatigue44 reports
- acute kidney injury38 reports
- emotional distress36 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean terconazole caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions
Can you take terconazole with other medicines?
It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run terconazole against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.
What brand names is terconazole sold under?
We track 3 terconazole-containing products in the U.S.: Terazol 3, Terazol 7 and Terconazole. They are the same active ingredient; they differ in form, manufacturer, price and FDA recall record.
What forms does terconazole come in?
Across the brands we track, terconazole is currently marketed as suppository and topical, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.
Is there a generic terconazole?
Yes. Our catalog lists 1 generic terconazole product alongside the brand versions. A generic has the same active ingredient and must meet the FDA's bioequivalence standard; it usually costs less. Ask your pharmacist which one your plan covers.
