| 3 | Yeast infection | First night i did this, I was itching internally so bad. During the day is fine, but each night when it's time to put it in again. Five minutes after the itch is back for about an hour. Not as bad as the first night but still itchy. I had no burning, just the itch. | 41 | 5 days 100 | 1/15/2016 | 3 | yeast infection | itches so bad after I put it in, but during the day after i've showered i've noticed my yeast infection is going away (hopefully) so I'm going to continue with my last two nights left. | 20 | 5 days | 6/28/2020 | 1 | I took miconazole 7 | It is worst medication ever Gave me rash burn and itch like crazy I will never ever take.it again | Worst ever | 25 | 3 days 1X day | 7/19/2020 | 1 | The worst!!! Made my symptoms 1000x worst. Stop using it now!! | 0 days 1X day | 8/4/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection during pregnancy | Intense burning and itching since applying the cream. I wasn't even itchy before hand. | Ouch | 41 | 1 days 1X day | 11/30/2021 | 1 | tube claims to relieve vaginal itch | first of all thank goodness for this site and thank goodness for google for listing it as number one on the list! i used a very small amount today just to relieve that "itch you cant scratch" feeling, as i have done this before several times when i was younger. but for some reason this time was different. within 10 minutes i was feeling a burning sensation. not horrible but enough to make me freak out! so i found this site, and im reassured that this will go away and im not the only one. thnx for all ur input. | i will not ever use this crap again! | 23 | 1 days 1X day | 6/2/2010 | 5 | yeast infection | slight itchiness | I have used Monistat 3 in the past and i had all the burning and itching that everone else seems to have and it was not fun. so the second time round i decided to try Monistat 7 since the doses would be lower and i am so thankful i did. Last night was my last treatment and i am happy to report that everything down there feels back to normal. I was afraid the first night of M-7 because the first night of M-3 was just horrible i cried my eyes out because the cream made everything 10x worse. To my surprise i did't feel anything on my first night of treatment with M-7. The 2nd and 3rd nights i did experience a very slight itch but i was nothing compared to the burning of Monistat 3. The itch only lasts a few minutes and went away quickly. Although Monistat 7 is a week treatment it is very worthwhile and the low dosage is key. I just wanted to leave a review because the product worked very well for me and i don't think any woman should have to suffer the HORRIBLE side effects of high doses...please ladies if you take the time to care for it it will go away. As a preventative measure i am also going to drink more water, consume less sugar, and take probiotics. You all should try to figure out the underlying cause of the yeast infection is as well and not just treat it once because it will come back...take measures to live a more healthy life for your vagina!! good luck ladies (((BTW I used the WALGREENS version of monistat))) | F | 20 | 7 days 200 1X day | 4/19/2010 | 5 | Cronic Yeast Infections | I have used Monistat for years (25 or so). I have never had ANY bad side effect at all. | It has been a god send for me, seems how I have such troubles with yeast. Both of my daughters, have also used Monistat without any problems. I would suggest if you are new to using Monistat, maybe try putting a small amount in first to see if you are going to have a bad reaction. Personally, I think it's a wonderful OTC drug. | F | 49 | 7 days 1X day | 2/6/2010 | 5 | 2nd yeast infection | messy, very minor itching | I used monistat 1 with the pre-filled applicator. i got really scared when i read the comments everyone posted, but i never experienced any "horrendous" effects. maybe the first day there was minor itching, but that could have been from the infection itself. supposedly only 33% of women treating for yeast infection have one, so maybe all the people with really bad side effects have a bacterial infection instead of a yeast infection. anyway, it worked really well and i was in no discomfort. | F | 18 | 1 days 1X day | 2/20/2010 | 5 | Itching and burning | This is my first yeast infection and I didn't go to the doctor. I just went out and bought some M 7 and I am on the 3rd day of it, i had some mild itching the first night, but I have been so relieved with this product!I have also been eating less bread and eating some yogurt, It has helped so much. I cannot wait to get rid of the thing!! But I would recommend this product. | F | 19 | 7 days 1X day | 7/19/2010 | 5 | yeast infection | None! Although please note, I used the generic version of Monistat 7 after being thoroughly freaked out by all these complaints of intense burning and itching. | For all you ladies out there trying to postpone getting treatment for your yeast infection - DON'T! I admit I was a little hesitant about using Monistat 7 seeing as how so many people had complaints about it so I opted for the generic version, hoping the side effects wouldn't be as bad. I'm on Day 5 right now and everything's going great and my symptoms are gone. The only complaint I have is that there doesn't seem to be enough cream for 7 days (pack came with a tube of cream and 7 applicators that you fill yourself right before inserting it). Hope this helps. Good luck! | F | 25 | 7 days 1X day | 7/2/2010 | 5 | yeast infection | I experienced NO side effects. It was effective and went very well. Before taking it I read these reviews and was terrified but went ahead and tried it out anyways. It was great. If you experience severe itching before taking the medicine, maybe try not using the outer creams. That tends to cause the side effects described by most the reviews. I would definetely recommend this medicine. It's a quick, easy, convenent cure! | F | 18 | 3 days 1X day | 11/17/2010 | 5 | Yeast Infection during pregnancy | Burning/itching on par with yeast flare up the first two doses | I developed my first yeast infection at the end of my second trimester. My mid-wife recommended Monistat 3. I did not trust this recommendation for the following reasons: A) History of bad medical advice from doctors and nurses, B) Many sites warning against use of Monistat online (especially the higher 1 and 3 day doses), C) Preference for maintaining health through diet and certain home remedies before relying on the pharmaceutical industry. I ingested crushed raw garlic and yogurt, and applied garlic cloves and yogurt directly for a few weeks, but as soon as I went a few hours without treatment I would get a bad yeast flare up. After 3 or 4 weeks of increasing misery I decided to try the Monisat 7. The first treatment burned and itched slightly more than the yeast itself, the second treatment less so, the third treatment a warm sensation, and the fourth/fifth/sixth had no noticeable feeling. The discomfort from the infection was gone after the fourth dose, and all discharge/symptoms are gone after the sixth dose. I still need to use the seventh treatment tonight, but I am pleased with the results. Baby is still kicking and active, and my parts finally feel clean and normal again. I still eat plain yogurt daily and plan to ingest garlic 1-2 times per week as a preventative measure, but the Monistat did the trick for a full blown infection. | F | 26 | 7 days 2% 1X day | 11/17/2010 | 5 | Yeast Infection | NONE | Experienced my first yeast infection due to massive steroid injection! Burning and itching are due to scratching!! With the monistat I used the cream and yes it burned at first because I was scratching once I quit the burn went away!! I am on my third dose and showing little signs other than a little itching of my infection!!!!!!! Completely satisfied with this product! | F | 35 | 3 days 1X day | 11/22/2010 | 5 | Yeast Infection | Slight burning and irritation. | F | 31 | 3 days 1x 1X day | 1/17/2011 | 5 | Great product - instructions and illustrations are indecipherable. | F | 67 | 7 days 1X day | 3/20/2011 | 5 | yeah | my yeast infection was horrible, and reading all this stuff was crazy scared me , i got monistat 7 and honestly i have not had any crazy side effects. i mean yes it itched but it i itched just as bad before i took it. im on day two and feel pretty good. i suggest monistat 7 no question! | F | 17 | 2 days 1X day | 7/7/2011 | 5 | Yeast infection | none | I am shocked and amazed on how well the cream applicator has cleared my infection up!!! I experienced no pain, no itching, and no burning AT ALL!!! I'm not sure why everyone is bashing the product when is effective. | F | 28 | 7 days 1X day | 8/28/2011 | 5 | Yeast Infection | didn't have any side effects. | took monistat 7 and it stopped the yeast infection itch as soon as i applied the topical cream. relief after the first vaginal treatment. cleared up infection in 7 days. will take again if i have to. | F | 23 | 7 days 1X day | 12/11/2011 | 5 | Yeast Infection | The first night it burned like crazy, but that is because there was no natural lubrication in the vaginal area, and the medicine was killing the yeast. Don't stop using this product! By the second night it's only a little uncomfortable, and the third day it's gone. Keep using the product until the tube is empty; it WILL help! | F | 18 | 3 days | 2/19/2012 |
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)
