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 during antibiotics The worst itching and burning that I've ever experienced. I would gladly take childbirth over using this medication. It is unbearable. After two hours, I'm still suffering. I washed it out and I've taken three baths to soothe the extreme pain and itching. I'm using an ice pack but it feels like I cannot escape the pain. It's so intense I feel like I'm going mad and that it will never end. Never use! F 29 3 days

 1  Yeast Infection Oh. My. Gosh. I am currently on day 3 of using this, my cooch is on fire. I just want to cry, it's so itchy and burns like heck every single day, I wish I could just rinse it out. I freaking hope my yeast infection is gone after taking this product because the "mild itchiness and burning" it talked about is SEVERE!!! i get straight into bed already knowing it's going to be very uncomfortable.

 1  Yeast Infection Burning, itching, swelling, sore, OUCH! So, its 5:27am and I'v been up all night unable to sleep due to the extreme pain that I am in, it is so itchy down there, and it burns. So, anyways, I had no problems the first and second days but last night, my third night taking this is when it started itching and burning. After the second night all the symptoms of my yeast infection were gone but you have to finish the treatment anyways for it to work, so a couple hours after puting the last ovule up my vagina I woke up in extreme pain from the burning and itching. and I haven't been able to sleep since (I went to bed at around 11:30) so... I would not recomend this product to anyone, it hurts! I donno what to do to make it better, and I have school in 2.5 hrs. ahh. F 17 3 days

 1  yeast infection extreme burning and itching for an increasing number of hours with each additional dosage. The cream helped somewhat. i pride myself on being good with pain. i delivered my children without pain medication, and have had sever 3rd degree burns. But this pain was right up there with the sever burns, worse than mere natural childbirth for me. It may be an allergic reaction. But from this (great) web-site, it seems like a significant percentage of users experience such a reaction, and this should be mentioned in the information accompanying this product. i would not use this product again. it didn't even cure my rather mild yeast infection!

 1  yeat infection WOW. The cream ITCHED like crazy!! I had to rub, scratch and wiggle to relieve the itching. Next, I tried to apply an icepack to no avail. My only solution was to take a warm bath and wash myself throughly to remove the cream. After, that I was A-OKAY. I do not recommend that anyone use MICO-3!! I will stick to the AZO and Probiotics....plain yogurt inserted works wonders. Oh how I wish I would have used the yogurt first!! GOOD LUCK...... F 29 3 days

 1  Yeast Infection Itching, burning, extreme discomfort I started taking this on day 1 of my infection (what I consider day 1, right when I noticed the symptoms) I had my hubby go get me something that would help quick because it was Thanksgiving and everywhere was closed. I used the topical cream first and there was a little bit more itching and burning than was there originally but it subsided quickly, used the internal dose and it was fine. The next day I used the topical just like it recommends and the same thing, slightly more discomfort then fine, the night dose was intense but only lasted for 10 minutes with itching, burning, and a throbbing sensation, 3rd night was horrible!!! felt like I was sitting on a candle and nothing helped. I will not use this product again and will not recommend it to anyone I know!!! F 25 3 days

 1  Recurrent yeast infection I feel vindicated that I found this website. My gyn told me he's never heard of such a reaction as I had. My entire vulva swelled up and was on fire and it took days for it to settle. I was depressed and in sheer agony. I used to use this stuff and it was a relief. I don't know what changed. F 30 3 days

 1  yeast infection It burns! Super painful! Beware beware beware! I was pretty raw down there, so that's probably why the burning was so terrible. The first night was sheer agony and I writhed in bed in terrible pain for hours. I really don't know how I got myself to use this product the second night, which was still pretty bad. The third night (last night) did not hurt at all. Not sure yet if it zapped all the little yeasties. F 25 3 days

 1  yeast infection swollen vulva; burning, ulcerations immediately after applying the monistat I felt horrible burning pain. My vulva became very red and swollen and eventually had multiple ulcerations all over it. My doctor actually thought I had herpes. The doctors office did a herpes culture, which the office then somehow lost. So I had to go back 8 days later to get the blood work after being treated with valtrex. I was negative for herpes simplex 2. My blood showed that I was a carrier of the simplex 1 virus which is commonly associated with oral fever blisters but as 80% of the population carries that virus she can't say if that is what caused the problem. I know that I have been married for 15 years, I've never had any issues before and I definitely had a yeast infection. I instantly had a reaction to the monistat that burned like fire. I've read online that many others have had the same reaction. F 36 3 days

 1  Yeast Infection after antibiotics Worst burning I have ever experienced. Even after washing it off the outside it still burned. Had to soak in an Aveno bath and used some feminine cream to help the itching and burning. Not using day 2 or 3. F 51 3 days

 1  Yeast Infection I've had YIs before, long time ago, and only remember the seven day treatment and no side effects except how messy it gets. Decided to try the three day treatment. It's like someone poured acid on my vajay. Blazing and very itchy. What in the world is in this stuff? And the itch cream that comes with it does not work. I'm on the last Day, thank God! I probably didn't need to do the third dose but figured why not just finish to be sure it doesn't come back. If I get another YI, I'm trying something else for sure. The burn is horrendous.
