| 5 | Great product - instructions and illustrations are indecipherable. | F | 67 | 7 days 1X day | 3/20/2011 | 1 | Yeast Infection | It simply does not work | The best medication for a yeast infection is a solution of boric acid & warm tap water - it is cheap & effective - you can't get boric acid anymore at a conventional pharmacy but it can be purchased quite inexpensively from an online pharmacy and 1 bag lasts a very long time - this is the old treatment that has been used for about a century - provider will NEVER tell you about this very effective treatment - either thay are ignorant or just do not know or are invested in Big Pharma | F | 65 | 2 months 1X day | 1/29/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection? Irritation/itching | Intense burning | I used Monistat 7 a long time ago and had no reactions. Then I tried Monistat 3 about a year ago and the reaction was so bad (very intense pain, burning) that I decided to go back to the Monistat 7 this time. I have had a burning sensation ever since I put it in 10 hours ago. | F | 62 | 1 days 1X day | 8/4/2011 | 1 | yeast infection (after antibiotics) | my comments are about monistat 1, I have used monistat 7 in the past for yeast infection and while it was messy sitting in that stuff for a week, it was helpful and gave me relief and cured me of the yeast infection Recently, after bacterial respiratory infection treated with antibiotics left me with a yeast infection, I tried monistat 1 (so I wouldn't have to sit on that messy stuff for a week) Well--give me the messy stuff any day, the monistat 1 was horrendous, the burning and pain made me feel I was chemically scalding my insides. I have never experienced such pain or for so long a period of time. It has been three weeks now, I have seen my gyn twice to see if I had something other than a simple yeast infections--lab results are negative, but the burning, scalded feeling continues. I do not have a partner--thank goodness--I can not imagine having sex with my vaginal area in this condition. There continues to be constant burning, and intensified burning upon urination. If any | F | 60 | 1 days 1X day | 2/9/2011 | 1 | Yeast infection | This product CHANGED!!! This is HORRIFIC!! Turned a simple yeast infection into a nightmare or swollen, burning, itching vulva/vagina. Unbearable. Got Diflucan but may need to see doctor for severe swelling and rash. Ugh. | This product must have changed formulas. It cost $20. and I'd pay $200 to avoid this pain. I can't go out!! This is a disaster. | F | 60 | 2 days 30 1X day | 7/3/2020 | 2 | Yi | Intense burning immediately after application | Night one I wasn't sure what was going on, night 2 confirmed crazy burning! Not using night 3, external cream is great. | F | 59 | 2 days 1X day | 1/11/2017 | 1 | yeast infection | Horrible! This stuff burned my skin! Then I had a really bad allergic reaction. My tongue swelled and my throat as well. The itching got a lot worse. | I switched to Cotrimazole 7 (Walgreens) This worked perfectly! Absolutely no burning at all. Cleared up my infection within the 7 days. | F | 58 | 7 days 100MG 1X day | 8/8/2020 | 3 | yeast infection | intense itching and burning | I have used Monistat 7 for over 30 years and not until now have I ever experienced this. Have they changed the formula? I am also eating yogurt which helps the PH balance. I am on HRT which is what start this. This, my friends, is not fun! | F | 56 | 7 days whatever 1X day | 7/9/2010 | 2 | yeast infection | very Intense burning and swelling. | I will never use it again. Now I use topical yogurt, acidophilus pills, and a product from the health food store called "Yeast Away". It works for me. The only reason I didn't give Monistat a "1" rating is because it does seem to kill the yeast infection. | F | 56 | 7 days 1X day | 2/6/2010 | 4 | yeast infection | I developed a vaginal yeast infection following a 10-day treatment on Flagyl for a uterine abscess, menopause-related. (Flagyl also gifted me with oral thrush, which has been a bear to get rid of.) I know from my past use that Monistat-7 always burns me like fire for the first 36 hours of treatment. I was prepared for that. Using the product before bedtime, then taking Advil PM or Ambien, got me through the worst of those side effects, and occasionally an ice cube wrapped in a wet paper towel applied to external areas. By Day 3, I had no burning or itching, and for the remaining days of treatment, just a little "warmth" after applying the external cream. I seem to be rid of the yeast problem now. | When I was a younger woman and more prone to yeast infections, I tried a lot of those 1-day and 3-day treatments (including Monistat-3) and they were rarely sufficient treatment to get my system back to normal. I go with the "7" because it has always knocked out the yeast for me. With the shorter treatments, I've endured relapses. And that one-day, solitary oral pill--fluconazole? Useless in my experience! I find that a couple days of significant discomfort and mess on the Monistat 7 cream is worth the cure. I've also found that taking an oral capsule daily of 50 billion cultures (lactobacillus and bifidobacteria strains) assists the body in getting its yeast/bacteria balance back, particularly if that was thrown out of whack by antibiotics. I use a refrigerated product, from a health food store, called "Ultimate Flora Vaginal Support." Seems to help. | F | 55 | 7 days | 8/22/2009 | 3 | YI | None so far | The applicator kept pulling the suppository out with it? | F | 54 | 1 days | 6/3/2016 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Slight bleeding, burning. | I took the Walgreens version and was horrified to see light pink in my discharge after only one night. I have read Colloidal Silver works wonders, as it does for HPV. Presto, gone! Inject ultra pure Colloidal Silver up your vagina and go to sleep. I use a sterile syringe WITHOUT the needle. Colloidal Silver is so soothing and is the best natural antibiotic in existence. Every woman should be told about it. Find a quality brand online and you will be amazed at the results. | F | 54 | 1 days | 1/24/2009 | 1 | Yeast infection | Took the 1 dose ovule. Severe burning woke me at 2:17 a.m. Felt like my skin had been scalded. Took pain medicine, a warm bath to try and wash off (unsuccessfully)so now it is almost 4 a.m. and I am still in horrible burning pain. By morning I will have to decide whether to go to the ER. Can't believe I paid a lot of $$ to create this agony. The cure was worse than the disease. | There needs to be an antidote included for people with this bad reaction. | F | 54 | 1 days | 8/21/2008 | 1 | Yeast infection | I was taking Monistat 3 day course. Within minutes after insertion of first dose, I had severe burning & itching . . . much worse than the infection. It has been about an hour since taking it, and the effects have only slightly subsided. I will not take the other 2 doses, and will NEVER buy this product again. | F | 52 | 1 days | 1/12/2009 | 3 | Yeast Infection | Well, with all the negative reviews I'm reading here, it makes you wonder if the product works. I started my first injection about 7 PM tonight. It did burn and itch. However, it's now 10 PM and it feels much better. Like peroxide on an infection it burns and foams up right? Don't you think Monistat 7 would have the same reaction for a yeast infection? I would think so. | F | 51 | 1 days 7 day | 2/4/2012 | 1 | Yeast infection | Inserted it... instant burn and itch.... hurt so bad I went in bathroom and tried getting it out. NEVER EVER AGAIN!! Wish I'd read reviews before using it. Ran to store and got a douche... then filled that container with water 5x. Omg. Why do they even sell this?? | F | 51 | 1 days 1X day | 11/11/2021 | 2 | yeast infection | Monistat 7 use to work great on previous yeast infections...but...the first application caused extreme burning and itching! I wiped as much as I could off with cold cloth. No more for me! | F | 50 | 1 days 100 mg | 7/19/2014 | 1 | monistat 3 | can you imagine a swarm of yellow jackets in your vagina ???? I will never use this product again !!! | F | 50 | 2 days 1X day | 6/20/2011 | 1 | yeast infection | As soon as I inserted it, the itching started. The morning after the first dose, there was some bleeding. I kept using it, thinking it was the infection itself. By the third day, I realized that I was not having problems at all except at night, when I used the Monistat again. | F | 50 | 3 days | 3/7/2006 | 1 | taking antibiotics and vaginal itch | terrible burning like a fire inside | Please do not purchase this product. It caused a burning sensation like you wouldn't believe. I honestly feel like suing the company. I took a shower to try to diminish the effects. I am going to have my prescribe something. terrible product. how do they get away with it is what I want to know? | F | 50 | 1 days | 5/11/2008 |
MONISTAT 7 (MICONAZOLE NITRATE): This medication is used to treat vaginal yeast infections. Miconazole reduces vaginal burning, itching, and discharge that may occur with this condition. This medication is an azole antifungal. It works by stopping the growth of yeast (fungus) that causes the infection. The vaginal product comes in 2 forms (a vaginal cream or tablet). Some products also come with a skin cream to be applied to the area around the outside of the vagina. Ask your doctor before using this medication for self-treatment if this is your first vaginal infection. This medication only works for vaginal fungal infections. You may have a different type of infection (such as bacterial vaginosis) and may need a different medication. If you have fever, chills, flu-like symptoms, stomach/abdominal pain, or a bad-smelling vaginal discharge, do not use this medication. Contact your doctor right away because these may be signs of a more serious infection. FDA Approval Date: 1991-02-15 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
