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)

 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

 4  Y I Day 1 was the bulk of the irritation and burning and then almost no symptoms after inserting day 2. I did wake up this morning and went to the bathroom and noticed a small amount of blood mixed in with the medicine. Does anyone know if this is normal? I did have a bad spotting episode a little less than a week ago. All of my other symptoms have subsided, day 1 is the worst don't worry! F 29 2 days

 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  Yi Intense burning BUT I learned that if you put coconut oil or Vaseline ( in my case I used both, coconut oil first around my vagina since it’s anti bacterial and I thought it would lessen the burn) and IT WORKED NO BURN AT ALL! Try it! Vaseline is a skin protectant, so this may be a trick worth trying especially if your raw from scratching F 30 3 days

 1  Yeast infection Whoever described it as -inserting acid into her vagina- was spot on! I had to get back in the shower and try to get it all out. I decided to try the yogurt method...that cooled things down a bit. Needless to say, I won't be going for day 2 F 37 1 days

 1  vaginal yeast infection Intense headaches upon waking, dizziness, flu-like symptoms, itching/burning down there I recently had surgery and the antibiotics caused a yeast infection. I took diflucan last time I had a YI and it cleared up immediately. I didn't feel like making the trek to a doctor while I'm recovering from a surgery so I opted for Monistat 3. I didn't have the crazy intense burning/itching some mention here, but it definitely does burn/itch. It wasn't super uncomfortable for me. The most uncomfortable side effects for me were the crazy headaches I woke up with. All 3 mornings! By the 3rd day I was also super dizzy and felt a little flu-ish. I was really worried I was getting sick, but nope, just the Monistat. I'd stay away from this if you're sensitive to medicines like me. It's not worth it. F 30 3 days

 1  Yeast Infection Severe burning as soon as the cream hit the inside of my vagina. Couldn’t get comfortable to save my life. This is the second dose I’ve had and I’ve washed it out within 10 minutes of application. I do not recommend. I wish I would’ve read these comments before buying. (Post made on March 12th, 2020. 1:31AM after second dosage) Burns like a bitch. F 19 2 days

 1  Yeast Infection SEVERE BURNING and ITCHING Do NOT purchase the pre-filled cream applicators. It felt like I inserted acid into my vagina and everything was burning and itching (my legs were itching all the way down to the bottom of my feet). I have never in my life experienced something like this. Childbirth was better than this! The burning and itching lasted for 2 hours the first and second day and 1.5 hours the third day. I will NEVER use the cream again...sticking to the suppositories (3 day). F 39 3 days

 3  Yeast infection The initial itching was bother some but after applying the outside cream it felt better all day. Then came night. My friend is a nurse so I felt better about the burning and itching. But it is craz crazy intense. I feel it to my butt hole and even the bottoms of my feet start to itch. After the first dose the next morning I felt amazing all day. Not itching or burning. But I was dreading using it again tonight. I couldn’t even put the hole tube amount in. Only like 80 percent bc it stateroom burning right away. And you feel like you can’t get comfortable. After about 30 minutes it starts to slowly feel better. I just wish there was a way to make the cream not burn so dang much because it’s really horrible. F 2 days

 4  Basic Yeast Infection I had zero side effects with suppository method. I read too many reviews about the prefilled cream burning too bad and didnt want that. The suppository or (egg) didnt burn or itch at all. I have one more dose to take tomorrow and hopefully my YI will be clear/cured by Sunday. F 25 2 days

 2  Yeast infection I have used monistat in the past for yeast infections and have had no problems with it but I purchased the target brand since I’ve used the Walgreens brand and it was fine. I usually use boric acid or the suppository monistat but this one was a cream and I literally want to shove an ice cube up my vagina it hurts so bad the burning and itching is absolutely terrifying and was not worth it.

 1  Yeast Infection My symptoms were not even bad initially. It was after this product was inserted that I experienced extreme discomfort. It was fine for about 3 and a half hours after insertion that I woke up in the middle of the night from the extreme itching. Although I didn’t experience burning, the itching is EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Again, my symptoms before taking this drug we’re nowhere near the discomfort I had while on it. I would have rather taken a pill. F 18 1 days
