Tioconazole

Tioconazole topical (skin) preparations are also available for ringworm, jock itch, athlete's foot, and tinea versicolor or "sun fungus".

It was patented in 1975 and approved for medical use in 1982.

Side effects

Side effects of vaginal tioconazole may include temporary burning itching, or irritation of the vagina. Vaginal swelling or redness, difficulty or burning during urination, headache, abdominal pain, and upper respiratory tract infection have been reported by people using tioconazole. These side effects may be only temporary, and do not normally interfere with the patient's comfort enough to outweigh the result.
