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)

 3  YI I noticed some unusual things going on with my vagina like itching, redness, peculiar discharge and sure enough it was a YI. I couldn't take it anymore so i asked my mom to get me monistat, within five minutes of using this product there was an intense it h inside, and hasn't gone down, it's been half an hour. I just want to let everyone know that this is the most intense and painful itch i've ever felt in my life. F 16 1 days

 3  Yeast infection Ungodly level of burning After first inserting, I felt suspiciously okay (because Ive heard the horror stories so I was bracing my body for impact) BABY!! When I tell you the second that burning started, I began to panic. I knew I needed to tough it out to get to the relief but man! I dont think I will ever go this route again. I am glad to burn level started to come down and become more bearable after maybe two or three hours. The burning is definitely still there but nothing the ice pack can't handle now. Since my year infection was so mild, I sure do hope one day treatment takes care of it because I am NOT sticking that back up me again tomorrow! F 25 1 days

 3  Yeast Infection I have been really scared to take the product due to all of the horrible comments about the unbearable burning and itching but I knew I had a Yeast Infection and I wanted to get rid of it without having to go to the doctors. I bought the 3 day one in hopes that it wouldn't burn me and I really didn't want to have to take the 7 day one. At night I got a pad and some wipes. I wiped down my area and inserted the "capsule". Next I used the anti itch cream around the outside of my area to ease any itching or burn I probably would experience. I'm going on about a hour and still no scary itching or burning. At most I have a little tingling sensation. If it does burn I will apply more cream and try to bear the pain. If your skin is raw and puffy before use then it is likely this stuff will burn you. For me I knew not to itch the area so it would not swell or sore. Hopefully this st F 17 1 days

 3  First or second yeast infection I just put it in about 20 min ago and I kinda feel the same as I did before. My itching and burning and soreness has been going on for about a week...is that normal? It's gotten worse within the last couple of days so my mom told me to get the m3. I just pray this goes away. This isn't fair and no one deserves to live a second with this type of infection. Hopefully it's gone within the next two days. F 19 1 days

 3  Yeast Infection Most intense burning sensation imaginable The second I inserted the medicine I instantly had the most excruciating itching/burning ever. It only been ten minutes and it has made me want to just die! It is so painful. I have taken monistat before with no problems. I don't know if I can continue the treatment but YI's are the most dreadful things on the planet and I want it to go away! F 19 1 days

 3  Yeast infection Any time I take antibiotics I get a yeast infection. I always get Monistat 3 or the store brand equivalent. Even though I KNOW I'm going to SUFFER. This product does work, I'll give it that, but within minutes of inserting the cream I get the most horrendous uncontrollable torturous ITCHING that does not stop! I just want to shove a piece of sandpaper inside of me to make it stop! This is just AWFUL. WTF don't they sell Diflucan over the counter?! I give this product a 3 because it works, but it is negative one MILLION on the side effects. Absolutely horrible!! F 35 1 days

 3  i have itching and pain urinaring I have used it for about a day now I feel perfectly fine .. I been reading all this reviews and they all said (bad itching , burning pain) I honestly haven't had any but anyways its been a good product to me . IN MY OPININION THE SIDE EFFECT DEPENDS ON HOW BAD YOUR INFECTION IS THATS WHY IT BURNS PROBABLY THE ITCHING AND BURNING MEANS THAT THE ANTIFUNGAL ITS ACTUALI BURNING.. F 20 1 days

 3  Yeast Infection I'm 34 this is my first Yeast Infection. I was taking an antibiotic for a sinus infection and it caused this. I am trying the Monistat 3. Initially after insertion the burning and itching was absolutely awful. This is coming from someone who has a pretty decent threshold for pain. It's been about 4 hours and I am still experiencing some discomfort. I'll update later. F 34 1 days

 2  Yi After using the suppository cream, I experienced the most awful burning down there I've ever felt. It's been 30 minutes now and burning is starting to subside, but I'm scared to use days 2 & 3. I would not have used this product if I had read the reviews. F 18 1 days

 2  yeast infection I tried it an hour ago and it stinged me so bad! Right now I feel a light burning sensation. But 20min after I put it on I felt dizzy and I felt like puking so I got close to the toilet and stayed there until I puked but I didn't puke and that feeling lasted about 5min. Then I got a bottle of water and put it beside my bed. Now I'm laying down writing my review on this product. I hope this product helps me. Btw I'm on my period too.... No F 24 1 days

 2  Yeast Infection I wish I would have read these comments before I spent almost $20 on this product. I actually purchased Monistat 1--I know I have a yeast infection due to taking antibiotics...it's a very mild yeast infection. I took the monistat 1 because i just wanted to get the dumb thing over with and had never tried monistat before. also am on NUVARING and I had to take my ring out early so i could start this. As soon as the little ovule popped and started leaking (yes im wearing a pantyliner) it is tingling/burning! Not much of an itch but it wasn't too bad to begin with. Last night my vagina was swollen and it hurt just inserting the wand to put the ovule in! Idk when this tingling will go away but thank god i don't have to insert more little ovules. I have been reading to eat lots of yogurt and you can cure a yeast infection with just plain cultured yogurt...once this med is out of me and if it gets any worse im going to try that. surely there are other remedies out there other than this...feels like a harsh chemical.

 2  Yeast infection? Wow does this burn! Day 1 and the burning is so intense I needed to look up side effects. Thank you everyone who wrote in because non of my friends ever experienced burning when using this product. I am now using an ice pack to numb area and it's so hot that the ice is melting! Guess I need a painkiller now too. Oh the joys of being a woman... F 45 1 days

 2  yeast infection severe ITCHING only. no burning or anything else. just this ITCH that is keeping me awake. i had a yeast infection before years ago and didnt have any symptoms but went for an annual and my gyno told me i have one. she gave me some meds to take orally and to insert. no problems. i took antibiotics for over a week for a sinus infection and ended up w a yeast infection last weekend. night before last i took the monistat 1 but read some horrible reviews and ended up doing kegels to get it out before i felt it do anything. last night i went and got monistat 3. i put it in right before bed at about midnight. i woke up at 5am with horrible ITCHING!!! its now 645am and i still cant get back to bed. i hope this is just the meds working and it will be better when i use it tonight and tomorrow. im doing all i can to keep myself from scratching! ahhhhhkkk!!!
