Tioconazole is used to treat vulvovaginal candidiasis on a local basis (moniliasis). Because Tioconazole has only been found to be beneficial for candidal vulvovaginitis, KOH smears and/or cultures should be used to confirm the diagnosis. Other microorganisms known to cause vulvovaginitis should be screened out using appropriate tests. Studies have shown that women taking oral contraceptives have a cure rate similar to those not taking such agents when treated with Tioconazole.
