| 2 | Yeast infection | I am in my 30's and I have used this product 3-4 times before my current infection. In all those years I never had any problems. This time it burned like crazy and created intense itchiness. The side effects lasted about 30 minutes. It seems as though the company must have made a change in the product. I won't be using this again. It doesn't cost me any more to pay a co-pay than it does for me to purchase this product and the pill won't leave me in terrible pain. | M | 34 | 7 days | 12/6/2007 | 2 | Burning and itching after insert was unbearable | M | 17 | 4 days | 11/28/2015 | 1 | Yeast Infection | I used Monistat 1 last night before going to bed and woke up with an extreme burning sensation that has also lead to swelling. This has so far lasted 7 hours! | M | 41 | 1 days | 4/26/2008 | 1 | itching and burning | I started feeling itching and burning around clit and vagina... so I got the monistat 1, ... it was terrible... the itching and burning increase.. I could no sleep for two days... this is my 3rd day.. it is a kind of mild.. but every once in a while I feel like trying to start again.... besides, I feel like sick, a mild headache, waist pain.. like I am getting a period, but I am not. I will never, never, and never tried this product again. I am organic consumer, and just thought I should have get a natural product. | M | 45 | 1 days | 1/3/2010 | 1 | vaginal yeast infection | localized allergic reaction | As a long time diabetic I had treated many infections with Monistat. A few years ago however I a yeast infection that just got worse and worse with Monistat. I went to the gyn and with one glance she told me that the yeast infection was long gone and the pain, swelling and severe itching was an allergic reaction. She told me to never use Monistat or any medication with Miconazole nitrate in it again. Now I stick to clotrimazole or oral medication. | M | 30 | 7 days | 7/10/2006 | 5 | yeast infection | I have been getting yeast infection since i was a baby, because I always got ear infections, so I was always on antibiotics. Well, recently I just got an infection and had to take antibiotics. I ended up getting a yeast infection because of the antibiotics. I took monistat 1 and had no side effects what so ever. The first hour after taking it, I had a little itching but it was not half near as bad as the yeast infection. I love it. | F | 18 | 1 days | 3/29/2007 | 5 | Yeast Infection from Antibiotics | None whatsoever. | I made it a point to come to this site and write a positive comment. I have been suffering from terrible UTI's about once a month, and all the antibiotics have caught up with me and as a result, a terriblly painful yeast infection.There was hardly any itching, just a terrible burning sensation in my vagina...no discharge or anything. Once I took Monistat 3 day, I was feeling better in less than 12 hours after I woke up, after taking the first dose. I had no side effects whatsoever...just 100% complete relief...it was amazing!! For everyone who complains of agonizing sidwe effects, that's most likely your infection, NOT the medicine...lol. It was a miracle for me. Highly recommend...just use at night w/ a panty shield. | F | 21 | 3 days | 2/18/2008 | 5 | Yeast Infection | VERY mild burnig/ tingling sensation | This medicine worked very well for me. I took Monastat 1 , felt a very slight warm/tingling sensation and thats about it! My body is purging itself of all the bad discharge which feels great, its been a day and almost all my symptoms are gone- All the bad reviews on this board scared me, but I have no horro story for this product. | F | 24 | 1 days | 2/20/2008 | 5 | 3rd yeast infection | No side effects other than normal discharge of the medicine. | I think because I was sick this past week and then proceeded to indulge in excessive amounts of sugar this happened. Prior to purchasing the monistat I used plain yogurt as a cream and that helps ALOT with itching and burning (even if it is messy) it makes me feel better that I don't have a pharmaceutical plant on my vag. ALSO: I've read repeated yeast infections can be symptoms of diabetes and various sexually transmitted diseases. Please consult a doctor if this your first yeast infection! | F | 22 | 1 days | 11/17/2008 | 5 | yeast infection | None at all. :) | I used the cream. It didn't burn itch or feel uncomfortable in any way. It's just messy and disgusting when it comes out. I will probably use the pill next time. | F | 19 | 7 days | 4/15/2008 | 5 | Yeast infection | None...maybe a slight warmness but that could have been the infection itself | I had no problems with Monistat 1 and I would take it again. I agree with another poster that, while I believe that the majority of posters on this page have had the symptoms that they describe, their stories should be taken with a grain of salt. I don't think that bad symptoms are at all the norm...most people who have had no reaction to the medication would not go out of their way to post a positive review (i.e., no news is good news). If you're like most women, Monistat 1 will probably help you rather than hurt you. | F | 37 | 1 days | 12/8/2008 | 5 | Yeast infection while pregnant | The only side effect i had is on the first night i used the cream the itching increased rapidly but subsided by morning | It the best and safest cream i recommend for pregnant women who as suffering from a yeast infection and for those females who are certain they have a yeast infection and want to self treat themselves | F | 19 | 7 days | 1/3/2009 | 5 | Mild yeast infection | None! I was afraid to use this product after reading the horror stories, but I wanted to leave a POSITIVE comment for others who are researching this product before using it. | F | 21 | 3 days | 1/20/2009 | 5 | I had a self diagnosed yeast infect | Slightly warm sensation. That's all!!! Nothing like you all are describing | I had to leave a positive comment here.. I used Monistat 3 with the suppositories that you inserted with the applicator. I did it right before I went to bed. After hearing all the horror stories..YOU GUYS HAD ME SCARED STIFF..but I was so uncomfortable i said wth.. I felt nothing.. nothing but a lil warming sensation. So I just had to come here and express my relief.. I'll give u an update on how it goes for the 2nd, and 3rd day. | F | 23 | | 1/31/2009 | 5 | Severe Vaginal Yeast Infection | So far I haven't experienced any side effects. | F | 19 | 4 days | 10/16/2012 | 5 | Yeast infection | The first dose was horrible! Effect wise. As soon as I applied it I felt the worst burning and itching sensation. It lasted about 5 minutes. After that everything was okay. I'm on the 2nd dose and this time there wasn't much of an effect after applying it. Seems like it working. Hopefully it does. | F | 20 | 2 days | 1/8/2013 | 5 | Walgreen | This is a dam good product all women should use it . It burns first however it will kill all the yeast And good luck.dont be afraid go for it !!!! | F | 1 days 7 | 1/15/2013 | 5 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | I developed a yeast infection after taking metronidazole for a bacterial vaginitis.. My doctor prescribed diflucan but the yeast infection did not go away. Monistat 7 completely got rid of my yeast infection. It did leak out during the day and during those times is when I experienced some slight burning and discomfort. Once I wiped away what leaked out I felt better. The leaking stopped completely by the second day after my final treatment. I have tried monistat 1 before...that burns like FIRE and didn't get rid of the yeast infection. It actually made it worse!! Monistat 7 is the way to go...it may be a little messy and it takes a whole week but it is well worth it!!! | F | 34 | 7 days 100MG | 4/30/2013 | 5 | Yeast Infection | Ladies don't let the negative comments keep you from trying this product! I almost did, but I am happy that I didn't! I had a really bad yeast infection to the point where I couldn't walk. I started feeling better after the fourth dose. I didn't experience any side effects as I thought I was after reading the reviews. Hopefully after the next two doses I will be 100%! | F | 23 | 7 days | 3/4/2013 | 5 | Yeast infection | No side effects at all. WONDERFUL!!! | This worked GREAT for me! The itching and irritation went away very quickly. A lot of people are posting bad experiences here, but remember: they are the ones more likely to say something. You don't hear from the millions of people who use it with no problems. A survey like this is not exactly balanced scientific research data. | F | 27 | 3 days | 6/20/2006 |
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)
