| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | Monistat 7 external cream | Warming sensation. | I am on a two week course of amoxicillin for a dental situation, and at about the 7 day mark I realised a vaginal sensitivity had turned into an increasingly unbearable burning, itching soreness that got to the point of keeping me awake at night. So yesterday I got vagisil, which barely took the edge off. Then last night I bought the Monistat 7 and cautiously applied only the external cream (kit comes with tube of 2% cream, along with the higher strength inserts), just to be on the safe side! Within less than an hour, my condition transformed into a warm sensation - completely removing the former burning and itching, but still sensitive. I re-applied a couple times during the night as I got up to go to the bathroom, which helped each time. I have another week to go on the anti-biotics - without Monistat I don't know if I could have continued. Tonight I'll def start with the actual inserts. A lot of people may have a sensitivity to Monistat but for me it is just what I needed. | F | 43 | 1 days | 9/4/2009 | 5 | Chronic yeast infection. | Burning and itching the first 2 nights, as stated on the box. but positive feedback. | I've had a yeast infection going on for about 3 months now, I've been trying home cures, and nothings worked, I try to stay away from medication as much as possible, but I must say, Monistat 7 was a life saver for me. The first 2 nights, it wasn't fun, I experienced burning and iching, but it wasn't any worse than the infection its self, my mother who is a nurse says it burns when first taking it, because its killing the infection and washing it out, which is why iching can happen, but I noticed, after the first two days the burning stopped, and so did the iching, I'm on day 6 now, and I'm pretty sure my infection is gone. I'm very happy with this product and would use it again, because after having a long painful yeast infection, Im finally comfortable. I would take two days of mild burning and iching than a yeast infection anyday! | F | 21 | 6 days | 7/15/2009 | 5 | Yeast Infection | I have used Mon7 several times. My 1st time I had a yeast infection, it was severe. I purchsed the "Suppository" 7-day treatment & the yeast infection was cured. I've had 2 other infections since then. This time my cycle came on (I THOUGHT it was an infection) I got the "cream" version of Mon-7. Immediately it burned intensely! Also, I washed myself so much, I was "too dry" & irritated to be inserting the applicator & cream, I started burning as soon as the applicator touched me. I stopped the Mon7, took it back & got some vagisil cream. After my cycle, I thought the "infection" was still present because intense itching & burning. I tried Mon-7 again figuring my cycle & over washing caused the bad reaction, not the product. I found the 3-day "Suppository" version again & went to using it. THERE WERE NO SIDE EFFECTS. My gyn doesn't believe I had a yeast infect. to begin w/, probably just irritation. When I "Self Diagnosed" I caused worse problems than before. However, I too wonder if they have changed something I their products. Fot my last 3 infections I searched for the "Suppository" version which worked so well for me in the past. I feel like the cream doesn't do as well as the original. | F | 29 | 3 days | 4/3/2009 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 1st yeast infection | very mild warm, tingling feeling | I chose to take the Monistat 1 Day Ovule Treatment and would highly recommend it. Honestly, I was shocked to hear the horror stories reported. After being diagnosed with a yeast infection, I immediately purchased Monistat and used both the ovule and cream. The ovule was very easy to insert and the cream reduced my itching and burning by about 90% in about 30 seconds. Yes, I did have the ovule's cream "ooze" out after about 4 hours, but I simply used a pantyliner. I also spoke to my friend who is a nurse, and she said that she believes the product "works wonders" and has never heard of negative side effects. Clearly, everyone's body is different, but I cannot report any negative results from Monistat. | F | 24 | 1 days | 6/29/2008 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | LADIES - If this is your first yeast infection, you've got to see your gyno! They take a culture and tell you whether or not its a yeast infection - other infections like vaginal bateriosis and Trichomoniasis (Trich) have VERY similar symptoms. If it is actually a yeast infection, you can then know what to look for in the future. If you take Monistat and other creams when you don't have a yeast infection you can create a resistance that will make it much harder to treat yeast infections you may have in the future! See your gyno the first time - it's painless and quick to do a culture and will save you a lot of grief. | F | 24 | 1 days | 1/8/2007 |
