| 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 | Yeast infection | I experienced intense burning pain worse than the infection with Monistat 3 a couple years ago. I am taking Monistat 7 now with nothing bad to report. | F | 39 | 1X day | 3/9/2016 | 4 | constant Yeast infection | NONE | it was amazing. I had no side effects and used to have pretty much of a chronic infection for about 6 years on and off!! its been about 4 months since i tried it and i have only used it once. My infection has not come back yet and even if it did, i would be happy that atleast i can go 5-6 months without an infection, compared to before, im in great shape!! im in love. | F | 20 | | 6/12/2009 | 4 | Yeast infection | Slight warm feeling. But it feels good. MUCH better than the stinging and itching of the infection. | F | 22 | 1X day | 9/28/2010 | 4 | Yeast Infection | I just started taking Monistat 7 today, and so far I've only used the external cream. It's worked wonders so far, for the first ten-ish minutes I had to adjust to the feeling of it and noticed it felt a little bit weird, but after that the intense itchiness got replaced by a nice warmth, and a very dull itch which is much more comfortable and easy to move around with. I'm a little nervous about the internal treatment because all of the negative reviews, but I hope it will work! Even though I haven't tried Monistat 1 or 3, with my knowledge about medication, I would definitely suggest 7. A really high dose of something all at once is bound to be potentially more damaging to your body and have stronger side effects. | F | 17 | 1X day | 11/27/2010 | 4 | I tried Monistat 3 first and it burned horribly, so I switched to Monistat 7. Monistat 7 is like a dream compared to Monistat 3 - hardly any itching from the product and my YI is starting to feel better already. | My big complaint is to the drugstores, who all have multiple versions of Monistat 1 and Monistat 3 covering four or five shelves at eye level, with just a few Monistat 7 options on the bottom shelf. They are encouraging and steering customers toward those horrible products that make it feel lie your vag is on fire when Monistat 7 has much less side effects and is more effective! | F | 38 | 1X day | 8/1/2011 | 4 | yeast infection | I experienced the intense burning and terrible pain with the first dose and just twinges of burning sensation the 2nd day. The following days no pain when applying. I have one more treatment left and so far it is really helping. | F | 44 | 1X day | 1/13/2012 | 3 | Yeast infection | extreme burning and itching | I used Monistat many times in past years. I never experienced any side effects, and it always seemed to work. However, now I am in my thirties, and have two children--- who knows if that is the change or the product has changed. I used Monistat for two nights now, and I have extreme burning and itching upon applicati and until I am able to fall asleep. I do not know if the product is working, but I am going to complete the series because I do not want to have to start all over again. I agree with a past commentor... I think that the product has changed over the last few years. | F | 33 | 1X day | 11/21/2010 | 3 | 1st night using monistat 3. 5 minutes after application, while lying down as recommended to reduce leakage, my vagina is on FIRE. intense itching & irritation more so than the yeast infection alone. almost unbearable. monistat, more like MONSTERstat! after reading these reviews, it seems the pain reduces and your body adjusts to the treatment, so hopefully this becomes more tolerable. good to know this is a normal reaction! | F | 25 | | 1/30/2010 | 2 | Yeast infection | Extreme internal burning, itching, bleeding, and pain | I, too, had used Monistat several times with no side effects. However, this past time I used it, it was a nightmarish experience. Not only did I have two nights of severe internal burning and itching, but it also made me start to bleed after the second day of treatment. It was definitely worse than the infection itself. | F | | 7/21/2006 | 2 | discharge, itching, odor | I have had yeast infections on and off for years. I usually use Monistat and it clears it up. I have never before had the internal burning I experienced this time. I also thought I was having an allergic reaction, and was wondering how I would remove this substance from my body. I got on the computer to see if this is a normal reaction. I can see from all of these posts that others have had the same experience, so I feel better. The burning has subsided a little. I just hope that it finally does the trick after going through some severe discomfort (and a little panic). I agree with the idea raised above that possibly the product has been modified, and probably is a higher strength to beat these infections that seem to be a chronic problem for so many of us. | About a week ago I tried Monistat 3, ovule. It didn't burn or itch, but it also didn't get rid of the discharge and itching of the yeast infection. That's why I tried Monistat 7 cream this time. | F | 37 | | 7/30/2008 | 1 | I agree with all the negative comments. The pain I am experiencing after using the Monistat Ovule can only be compared to my kidney stone pain. Not kidding. It's awful.... | F | 42 | | 4/27/2008 | 4 | yeast infection | F | 7 | 1/4/2009 | 2 | suspected yeast infection | intense itching, some slight burning | (Monistat 3) At first I thought, 'yeah, me too' reading a lot of these comments. But I discovered something: it's not necessarily that we're all allergic or the product sucks - it might just be that the suspected yeast infection was not really a yeast infection at all. I'm pretty sure it even says on the box to not take the product unless you do for sure have a legitimate yeast infection. Hormones could just be out of whack, or maybe it's a bacterial infection. That's not a shot in the dark, I spoke with some people who know what they're talking about and that's what they told me. Regardless, don't condemn the product without making sure it truly is a yeast infection you're trying to cure. | F | 17 | 1 times 30mg? 1X day | 6/25/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | insane burning, pain, and bleeding | I had a yeast infection after taking antibotics after Strep and took Monistat 1 combo pack and am still regretting it. I wish I could go back in time and head towards the yogurt isle. I spent the entire night screaming in the ER. Very humilitating experience! If you are reading this and have just started to get the insane burning, try to get as much of it out as possible. Get a tampons and push it up there and repeat a few times till you think it's all out. Also, my doctor gave me Alevert, antihistimine, or you could use Claritin, this worked really well. Two days later and I am still sore. The pain subsided for me after the Alevert. They should take this stuff off the market! | F | 29 | 1 times | 3/21/2007 | 3 | Yeast Infection | Itching and burning from the medicine is way worse than the actual yeast infection | Started taking Monistat on a recommendation from my OBGYN, currently on my fifth night. The itching from the yeast infection cleared up around days 2-3 and now the only itching I have is from this damn medicine and it's easily 100x worse than the yeast infection ever was. It's almost like the better your yeast infection gets, the worse this stuff itches. Sure it works, but at what cost? If it's going to cause these side effects, the least they could do is add something to numb everything. | F | 27 | 5 times 100 MG 1X day | 8/26/2021 | 1 | chronic yeast infections, 2 yrs | I took this so often trying to get rid of my problems and Kaiser (my HMO) wasn't helping. Finally at some point I developed an allergy to it which I think may have been one of the reasons I had chronic yeast infections. I had burning and abdominal pain. A year later I took it because I couldn't afford a prescription medication at that point and had a repeat of the burning and abdominal pain. I suspect a lot of people are developing immunities to these types of medications. | Overpriced and the amount of product in the tubes has been decreasing over the years. :( I'm angry that women spend so much on a product to get their symptoms under control when they don't have a good alternative (for many people oral anti-fungals are not effective at some point). | F | 26 | 20 times | 2/1/2005 | 3 | Yeast infection | Intense itching! wasnt itching until i inserted the cream. Literally not one itch until the cream. Tried for 2 nights. Honestly will not be taking the product again if i have another yeast infection. Literally made me itch so bad | F | 24 | 0 days 30 | 11/27/2019 | 1 | The worst!!! Made my symptoms 1000x worst. Stop using it now!! | 0 days 1X day | 8/4/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | Serve burning, pain and a rash. | F | 35 | 0 days 1X day | 8/25/2020 |
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)
