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)

 5  first time yeast infection It works great this was my first yeast infection. I read a lot of reviews saying that it burns once you insert the application. Which wasn't the case for me it didn't burn it wasn't messy it works amazingly. P.s my doctor stated that if it burns then you most of had your infection for a while. I would recommend this product..

 5  Yeast infection Ok let me say this, I take the monistat 1 first, when I put the ovule in I was really dry but still felt a little burning for about 3mins but not to bad, I was waiting for the drainage but it didn't seem to come, it really didn't work for me so I went back an got monistat 3, it really works so fast but it burns like hell. I had to stop what I was doing to get that stuff off me when it leaks because it really burns in irritate the skin like crazy when it drain itself out.. Good luck ladies F 25 3 days

 5  Yeast Infection none My first yeast infection, the walk in clinic doctor prescribed to me Monistat7 and was cured from it. For my second yeast infection (2 years after my first) I bought monistat 3 because I didn't want to be on the meds for a week. It cured me just fine. I don't see how other women are in such pain, but then again each women have different bodies. I recommend this product to any woman with a yeast infection...YOU WILL BE FINE, don't listen to the other women...just suck it up F 20 3 days

 5  Yeast Infection (antibiotics) With the first application of the cream, there was a burning sensation, which I see a lot of people have experienced. However, the skin down there is broken, so helloooo, of course it's going to burn! After the first application, I went to sleep. Once I woke up, there was no more burning, itching, or irritation whatsoever. I even put some of the cream on just in case...but that didn't burn the second time. Ladies, please do not be so dramatic and scare people away from a product that works! F 21 3 days

 5  yeast infection slight burning and that is normal. I dont understand what these woman are talking about!! this site scared the crap out of me when I first used the product. I used the product the first day and I felt nothing and went right to sleep but when I woke up It was burning because it was leaking out. Then I went to this site to see if burning was normal and these woman are saying it was so bad but it was a light burning nothing I could not handle, but after reading this I was scared to use it again, but I did because I wanted to get rid of this thing. The second night i used it I felt slight burning when i laid down for awhile but nothing wh en I woke up I took a nice shower and went on about my bis the third night I felt alittle more burning but nothing serious I went right to sleep, I woke up and it was alittle burning took a nice shower and went on with my day, not a big deal at all. I do believe my yeast infection is gone but if not I will take a diflican if the symptoms come back. Ladies my advice would be to not look at F 22 3 days

 5  Bad Yeast Infection None besides the slight burning which is normal and quite common, from what I've heard. I honestly searched up this YI Med before using it and came across this website with all these negative comments towards the med... thankfully I did not freak out, instead I tried it myself and by the first dosage, the irritation/symptoms of a yeast infection went away! I was so relieved because it was horrible... I'm finally done all 3, and extremely satisfied with the results, it's unfortunate that some women did not have any good results because it worked great on me. Didn't have to wait at the doctors office to notify him and get a prescription, than waste double the money for antibiotics. This med is awesome, I'd recommend it to any female with a bad yeast infection since my experience was great...nothing negative at all. F 23 3 days

 5  yeast infection mild itching, just a little burning (normal) I would like for those that used this product and had a horrible reaction to it to understand that there are ppl out there that are allergic to this product. And just because it didnt work for you doesnt mean it wont work for others. If you had read the instructions well it told u to cunsult a doc before using. For the mos part this product is still being sold because it works!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was a first time user and i was very satified. At first was scared to use it because of some comments that were left but consulting my doc and using monistat 3 i was relieved both mentally and physically. F 23 3 days

 5  mild yeast infection none, very mild burning the first night This is my first experiance with yeast infection.I was scared to death reading the experiences of other women for monistat3. I called my dr and begged her to prescribe me the oral medicine, she explained me how this medicine would just deal with the area effected and it is not a good idea to take a medicine orally and get all kinds of harmful chemicals in my blood stream specially when it is not required. I had no choice and i was sobbing badly before trying it as i thought it would hurt. But to my amazement I was totally fine. A very mild burning was there the 1st night and even in morning. My itching was completely gone. Today is my 2nd night and no burning or itching. I think people who had bad experience were maybe allergic to medicine or had a pretty bad infection. Also, maybe they had scratched themselves too much and that caused more burning when medicine was applied. Best of luck and yes please don't be scared. NOT EVERYONE HAS HAD A BAD EXPERIANCE.

 5  Yeast Infection Mild burning from the vulva cream. I was on antibiotics for a UTI and soon after I had all the symptoms of a yeast infection. I went and bought the Monistat 3 (ovule form) and read about it on here before I took it. What everyone was saying scared me, but I knew I had to take it. From what it seems, the generic brand of Monistat 3 seems to create a burning and itching sensation more than the actual version. I suggest inserting it as far up as possible for best results and wearing a panty liner or small pad for leakage. People commented on how the cream that comes with it burns and itches horribly. Most woman are putting the cream on broken skin so of course it is going to sting a bit. I only put a little bit on and it barely stung. F 18 3 days

 5  The last time, Monistat 1 Ladies, there is another itching problem that happens to us women and that is trichomonas. If Monistat doesn't heip you, ask your doctor to recheck you for that. Believe me, I'm 76, and I've probably had both of these infections more times than you are old. They are a plague for women. I've had to take a lot of antibiotics over the years and each time I end up with the yeast infection. In fact, I am going to have to get some Monistat this week because I am on amoxicillin right now. God bless all of you and get well soon. Monistat 3 worked for me without any reactions. F 76 3 days
