| 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 | 2 | Yeast infection | F | 20 | 1 weeks | 2/25/2017 | 2 | Vagina yeast infection by antibioti | Skin allergy | i took 7 days treatment, it didn't work. I used it again, it didn't totally cure after 14 days of treatment with period. I am trying to drink apple cider vinegar now. | F | 40 | 14 days 100 mg 1X day | 9/21/2012 | 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 | Self-diagnosed yeast infection :-) | None | Monistat 7 WORKS. Anyone who says they were woken up by itching, burning, or swelling, and/or claim it was the side effect of Monistat 7 are WRONG; itching, burning, and swelling are all symptoms of a really bad yeast infection. Monistat 7 and all other Monistat anti-yeast-infection products help relieve the symptoms but you should not expect miracles: unless you caught the yeast infection early and started using the product, you will still experience some level of discomfort until one morning you can definitely tell that your condition has improved. The bottom line is: Monistat 7 works when you use it correctly. I have not used other brands, but I have used the Monistat 1 Day with Ovule capsule. I liked it more because it is less messy, but sometimes staking all your money (it's more expensive) and hopes on a one-time insertion treatment seems a bit risky. Other than that, I can say that I trust this brand. | F | 23 | 7 days | 7/4/2006 | 5 | Gynecologist | Vaginal and exterior itching for 1st night | I went to the OB/GYN clinic just for a little check up and my doctor found that a had a VERY slight case of a yeast infection, I didn't even know I had it (no symptoms). She recommended monistat 7 and that night, I applied it as directed and within 10 minutes I had severe itching, no rashes or hives, I had a little trouble getting to sleep. I called my doctor the next morning and she told me that is expected for patients with slight infections, and there should be no itching the next night. I used it the next night and finished the week pain free and CURED. If you have a case of itching the first night just hold in there, it doesn't hurt after that...it's just the medicine doing it's job. If it does last though, stop using it. | F | 20 | 7 days | 7/27/2006 | 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 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 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 | Great product - instructions and illustrations are indecipherable. | F | 67 | 7 days 1X day | 3/20/2011 | 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 | severe yeast infection!!! | slight burning, minor irritation...low price to pay for major relief :) | I was a bit apprehensive in using this product for a severe yeast infection because of reading the comments on this site, but I needed a cure to my problem. The 7-day treatment worked well for me!!! The only discomfort that I experienced was when the creamed leaked out and onto my "inner lips" it irritated and burned a little, but I fixed that by wiping it off the exposed areas. Other than that, great product!!! My infection cleared up, and I'm back to normal (whew!)I would use this product again if needed...Ladies take care of your womanhood!!! :) | F | 28 | 7 days | 7/7/2008 | 5 | Yeast Infection | Itchiness | This was my first yeast infection ever, I didn't go to the doctor to get it diagnosed I just had my mom buy me the monistat because I was in such discomfort. It took me a few days to realize what it was though because I had never experienced this, but I bought monistat 7 and started using it the same day I started my period, I also ate yogurt with live cultures in it twice a day for the first 2 or 3 days of treatment. Last night was my last dosage and the itchiness from my yeast infection is completely gone. I started feeling relief the first night and by the 3rd night it kind of felt like a faint itch, now its non existent. I hope I never get another yeast infection but if I do, I would definitely use this product again. I guess the only bad thing I can say about this product is I notice the cream still comes out a few days after and it hurt a little bit when I inserted the applicator. Besides that its perfect! | F | 20 | 7 days | 1/7/2010 | 5 | Yeast infection | DO NOT LET THESE OTHER NEGATIVE POSTS SCARE YOU!!! After reading ALL the negative posts on here I was very reluctant to even try Monistat but it is so true that we are all different! I bought the Monistat 7 combination pack and had zero bad side effects! I'm done with the pack today and I'm back to normal! This worked wonders for me. Don't be afraid to at least try it especially if your symptoms are as bad as mine were (itching, burning). Also, do not try to rush it by getting the monistat one day or three day. Those may be too harsh! Everything takes time and 7 is best! Good luck to all you women out there & I hope you feel better soon! | F | 28 | 7 days | 11/14/2013 |
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)
