| 4 | Yeast infection due to antibiotics | The first day was the worst (lots of itching). Last 2 days were fine. Cleared up fast. | 34 | 3 days 1X day | 2/12/2021 | 3 | yeast | First day itching n burning really bad abdominal pain too...today im experiencing an heaviness in my pelvic area n cramps .i would like to know what caused that? Besides from that its workng | 23 | 1 days | 1/25/2014 | 3 | Yeast infection | Horrible, terrible itching and burning. Almost like a chemical burn. I will go to the dr next time and get a diflucan. They should put done lidocaine in this stuff. | 35 | 3 days | 5/22/2014 | 1 | YI | Burning itching never went away | 24 | 3 days | 1/24/2014 | 1 | Burns like hell | 0 days | 10/29/2019 | 1 | Yeast infection | Extreme burning and itching for a good 2 or 3 hours after inserting the pre-filled cream. | I had such a terrible reaction to this medicine. The pain/burning/itching was so much worse than the actual infection itself. My vagina and rectum felt like they were on fire. From the reviews, it looks like the egg suppositories are not as bad. But definitely will NOT try the cream again. | 25 | 3 days | 5/5/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | It feels like there are a thousand stinging nettles in my vagina. | I have had maybe 5 yeast infections in the last 20 years. I have used Monistat every time. Never EVER in my life before have I had an experience like that I've just had. The pain and discomfort I've experienced after using this medication is unlike any I've ever experienced. What the actual f did they put in there since the last time I used this? And how is no one suing them? | 40 | 2 days 3 day | 6/17/2020 | 1 | Yeast Infection | If this product were made for a man to inject in to his penis, it would have already been recalled and lawsuits settled. The recovery from two vaginal deliveries with tearing hurt less than the burning coming from this medication. | Figure out a new formula. But even after you do, I still wont ever use your products again because nothing on your packaging warned me for what I was about to experience and I have no way to stop it now, just ride it out. | 38 | 1 days 1X day | 1/6/2021 | 5 | Yeast Infection | I have been getting yeast infections and my hormones are going crazy with my body because my birth control implant is about to expire so I've been getting yeast infections. I tried a dollar general 1 day treatment for my yeast infection and it did not work at all. So I decided to get the Monistat 3 and I can definitely tell a difference. I love it, it barely leaks throughout the night and I havent had any itching or burning while using it. I would use it again if I had to! | F | 19 | 2 days | 4/20/2020 | 5 | Abnormal Discharge, Rash, YI | No side effects so far! I read all the reviews the night before and i definitely shouldn’t have done that. They def scared me but i had nothing to be worried about. They all said there was an intense burning but i’d didn’t feel that at all. I don’t know if it’s bc i put the itching cream on hours before i applied the dosage in or if i just have a high pain tolerance. But anyways i put the dosage in and the application was smooth | So far so good! Only two more nights to go. | F | 18 | 1 days (200 mg) | 12/5/2019 | 5 | had a yeast infection | There was burning everynight for like the first half an hour after application but it got the job done and thats all that matter i just lay infront the fan with my legs open until the burning stops | F | 22 | 7 days | 4/3/2017 | 5 | Yeast infection | It really works | F | 33 | 3 days 200 | 4/16/2017 | 5 | Yeast infection | Light spotting for a few days after the treatment and the applicator is a little sharp and scraped me on one occasion when I did not take my time inserting it. | Worked great! Stopped all the symptoms after 1 day. Definitely use the cream that comes with it. Only concern is the applicator, it scraped me slightly so be very careful and go slow inserting it. | F | 31 | 3 days | 7/25/2018 | 5 | Yeast infection | No side effects | I would recommend this product. I had instant relief. If you read the instructions, it clearly stated that the cream is for external use, and only to apply a thin later to itchy area, no where on the box or instructions does it say to insert cream in vagina, no wonder you poor ladies were burning and itching. Eeeks | F | 33 | 3 days 1X day | 10/24/2020 | 5 | Odor | 1 day there were burning and brownish discharge which was weird because I didn't have a discharge in the beginning on a foul odor that I personally couldn't smell. But I knew others around me did. 2 day no burning sensation feeling and final day same as day 2. All in all I think the product works well. Many women fail to realize this is a medical product which also disclose that product may cause burning, discomfort, headache, upset stomach etc... READ the information in the box. | F | 40 | 3 days 1X day | 9/9/2020 | 5 | Yeast infection | I purchased the Monistat 3 with the pre filled cream applicator. Soon after I inserted the medicine and laid down, I experienced severe itching and burning and so much discomfort for about 30 minutes. However, after the initial burning and itching I started to have a GREAT DEAL OF RELIEF. Almost like a numbing feeling. No pain or discomfort after waking up. I also used this while on my period. It can be messy so wear a pad. Also, be prepared for more discharge than usual. You can see the yeast discharge in chunks! RELIEF! | F | 21 | 3 days | 2/15/2014 | 5 | Yeast infection | Itching, leaking | I was really terrified to take this after reading some of the comments on here, but decided to go on with taking the monistat 3 ovules. I took my first ovule last night before bed and within about 20 minutes I had pretty intense itching. But that was it. I wasn't doubled over, I didn't feel like I was on fire. It just itched pretty bad. The next morning the itching was somewhat worse than the day before, but on other sites I read that the itching means that the medicine is working. I am about to use my second dose and I feel sooo much better than I did yesterday, the itching and soreness has definitely went away a little. I would have to say the worst part of this whole experience was the leaking that occurred during the night and for the better part of the next morning. | F | 20 | 1 days | 1/7/2010 | 5 | vaginal yeast infection | none. | i had a persistent yeast infection for about 2 1/2 weeks; i was taking AZO yeast because after reading the comments on monistat i was nervous to try it. but eventually i gave in, because the pills were not curing the infection at all--it may have actually gotten worse. i used monistat 3 and it immediately gave relief. i had no terrible side effects, and the infection is gone. | F | 20 | 3 days | 1/14/2010 | 5 | yeast infection | Slight itching right after inserting | Slight itching right after inserting, so I used the creme and that helped. It leaked slightly over night and the next morning after use. But it was very effective! Didn't have any symptoms after that night and used it for all three days. I did have very light bleeding, but could be getting period earlier than expected.. | F | 21 | 3 days | 1/19/2010 | 5 | yeast infection after antibiotics | very very mild itching and burning - less than yeast infection | I was afraid to use this after reading the negative comments, but had no problem with it. I suspect those that did were allergic to it and those that had no problems before but did the last time, had developed an allergy to it. My suggestion - try a little of the cream externally first to see your reaction. | F | 69 | 3 days | 11/25/2009 |
MONISTAT 3 (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: 1984-08-15 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
