| 5 | I had very mild discomfort, I guess you could call it burning, for a very short time, like minutes. Then I went to bed and slept fine and woke up today feeling like the infection's almost gone! For the first time my own urine did not sting my private. I'm very excited! | F | 31 | 1X day | 10/20/2010 | 5 | Yeast infection | Really Monistat 3 is very good.This is my second experience, using monistat.First time, i used Monistat 7.Monistat 7 is a slow process.i cant adjust the infection for 7 days.So,the 2nd time i used monistat 3,within that 3days, i got relief .It was completely cured. | F | 23 | | 3/30/2009 | 4 | slight yeast infection | although the side effects SUCK BIG TIME, it does say on the box this is common after you first apply. It does work though so as long as you can stick it out the first dosage it will be okay. I was literally itching like crazy and felt soooo annoyed but I SLATHERED on the external cream and felt A LOT better. The best thing to do is trying to not think about it and waiting it out. Everyone's body is different....even the prescribed oral pill for this has negative side effects that seem scarier if you look it up. Any medicine does...just look up side effects people have experienced with ANY birth control under the sun..there's always people who have no side effects and people who have horrible ones. | F | 23 | | 11/11/2009 | 4 | YI | Slight burning/itching, hives around various parts of my body, headaches | I really don't have much of a problem with the medicine other than it caused strange itching rash/hives around my ankles. It seems to be working perfectly fine otherwise and it isn't too unbearable so I'll finish the last day to cure the infection, but it just seems like a weird side effect to me. I would use Monistat again, but probably only in the seven day cream. I would not ever use to one day Monistat because of the terrible reviews I've read on it. I think the dosage is too high which has caused the terrible experiences with it. | F | 18 | 1X day | 1/13/2014 | 3 | YEAST INFECTION | ITCHING AND BURNING | AS SOON AS I APPLIED THE FIRST DOSAGE IT HAS BEEN ITCHING AND BURNING. I CAN'T GET COMFORTABLE NO MATTER WHAT I DO. HOPEFULLY THINGS START GETTING BETTER. | F | 30 | 1X day | 2/25/2014 | 3 | mild yeast infection | The cream for outside BURNS. | I used this product once before and did not use the cream for the outside, I don't remember anything bad about it then. This time I used the outside cream and it burns. Really bad. Really, really bad. I'm not going to use the cream again and hope the burning stops tomorrow. As for the capsules that get inserted, it did burn during the night, but today it was fine inside. Just the outside cream - beware. I've used Clotrimaderm cream before on the outside and it great. I recommend that instead. | F | 29 | 3 day 1X day | 4/24/2010 | 2 | mild yeast infection | So I think I put it in wrong, and it slipped and got all over the outside. And as soon as it touched it just started burning. And I tried to wipe it off, but it hurts even more now. When will this go away? I can't sleep it hurts so bad. I wish I hadn't have taken anything. The mild itch wasn't that bad to begin with. But I sure am glad I found this website. There wasn't any warning or anything on the box that this might happen. I read all over this. I had no idea what to do. | F | 18 | 1X day | 8/19/2010 | 1 | don't even think this deserves a rating of 1. more like -1. | bad allergic reaction to this stuff. burning, painful feeling, flushing of the face, dizzy feeling. don't recommend this crap. I'd rather slam my head into a wall! | F | 23 | | 8/13/2006 | 1 | yeast infection | MASSIVE BURNING AND ITCHING. | The pain didn't start when I first put the medicine in, it was when the medicine started to come out on it's own the next morning after I got up. I think the medicine sitting on an already irritated area made it all that much worse. I hope it cures the yeast infection, as I will suffer through the last dose tonight. It better cure it after this pain. | F | 34 | | 5/4/2007 | 1 | Itching - yeast infection | Intense pain, burning and itching immediately upon use. The external creme made it worse!! I washed off as much as I could but in the morning the burning and pain continue. I will NEVER use nor recommend this product to anyone. Why isn't there a stronger warning of some kind with this product? | F | 57 | | 3/28/2008 | 1 | yeast infection | I literaly feel like jumping out of my body.I have never experienced discomfort like this in my life. never use his product unless you feel like putting your head through a wall | F | 21 | | 1/22/2009 | 1 | Vaginal yeast infection | Using this product is extremely painful! The package insert said to expect mild discomfort. It feels like my vagina and rectum are burning up or being eaten by fire ants. I tried peeing to get the medicine out of me and make the pain go away. I have a high pain tolerance (given birth numerous times without pain meds) and I am telling you, this medicine HURTS. I hate it and hope no one else has to use it. | F | 1X day | 10/9/2017 | 1 | Yeast infection | Used the pre-filled tube with the cream tonight and the itching and burning everywhere down there is awful! I too felt like I was losing my mind. I used the egg ovule a few days ago with the Monistat 1 and it didn’t hurt but it also didn’t get rid of my YI. None of the creams have helped at all, just burns. | F | 43 | 1 times | 12/13/2019 | 5 | minor yeast infection | I WAS PETRIFIED after i read the ratings, and had already taken my first dosage! However, I believe that a lot of the infections being treated were applied to broken skin because of itching. My skin was not broken,as i caught the infection after the second day, and started Monistat 3 immediately. The external cream was awesome! I sincerely believe that some of the ladies waited until they were 4-5 days into the infection, before they treated it. Anyway, the product is awesome, and I would definitely use it again!!! | F | 52 | 3 times 1X day | 9/29/2010 | 5 | Terrible yeast infection | Slight increased itching around entrance, which was cured by the external cream that comes with it. | I didnt use the cream kind. I've used it the 4 times I've gotten a yeast infection... and it worked perfectly everytime and get rid of my infection within a day after the treatment was over. | F | 17 | 4 times | 4/26/2007 | 3 | YI | For my first YI I used Monistat 3 with the "no mess" egg things and felt no discomfort and satisfaction after treatment. Now I have my second YI and I used the cream instead. As soon as I put the cream in I felt burning and irritation worst than ever! I initially got scared because idk if it's because I'm in my period or I did something wrong. But I saw on here that I'm not along thank goodness! The discomfort has passed so I think I'm gonna continue with treatment cause it worked so well the first time. I believe the irritation occurred because my YI is worst than my first one so it's killing a lot more down there. It really feels like a battle. | Still recommend just like the "no mess" kind better | F | 21 | 0 days | 7/9/2017 | 2 | Had a yeast infection | Burning and Itching | Just hate that it itches nd burns after inserting the oval nd cream | F | 18 | 0 days 1 3X day | 9/17/2020 | 1 | yeast infection | OMG I just want the pain from the yeast infection back. Within 1 minute I started to feel like a had a entire community of fire ants living inside me. I have tried to get it out but the burning continues. This is worse than giving birth. | F | 48 | 0 days 1X day | 11/2/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | Burns like a bitch!!! | Burns!! | F | 26 | 0 days 1day | 6/1/2020 | 1 | Burns like hell | 0 days | 10/29/2019 |
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)
