I have never written a review before but at 3:48am I am in so much pain that I have to join in and warn women about this product! I wish I had thought to look at reviews before purchasing it. I used to get yeast infections when I was younger and used the 7 day Monistat so I thought the products were just more sophisticated that they could offer a 1 day and I went for it. HOLY COW I AM IN PAIN!! I woke up to nurse my son and could barely sit still while he was nursing. I eventually had to put him down there is so much burning and itching (thankfully he was full at that point and fell asleep). Now I am up and can barely sit still I am so uncomfortable. I wish there was something I could do to make it go away! I am thrilled that there are other women that didn't have the reaction, but if I were you and you haven't been successful with this one before, do yourself a favor and at least get the 3 day one.

I haven't reviewed anything in a decade, but I've never been in so much PAIN. I am crying right now, wishing I wouldn't have bought this product. I had no idea so many other women felt the same way. My entire genital area is burning and swollen, and it's been 24 hours. MAJOR redness, MAJOR swelling. I felt itchy when I woke up after inserting the suppository last night, and as the day progressed I only felt worse. Tonight, I had to leave the theatre to a show I really wanted to see this evening because I feel like I am going to die.Pain level 10.PLEASE TAKE THIS PRODUCT OFF THE MARKET.I've had no problem with the generic Monistat 7. DO NOT BUY THE ONE DAY. Ladies, I guarantee you it's worth the extra six days.

Why is this happening? Severe itching. I would be able to take the burning, but the itching is unbearable. I had a mild yeast infection and thought before it gets worse I nip it in the butt. Did it the first night and thought I was going to go crazy. It got better after an hour but that was horrible. Stupid me thought I'd give it another chance a second night and third night, but the itch did not get any better. I'm find during the day, but once I apply Monistat the itching is unbearable and decided to stop and call my doctor. She prescribed the pill. Don't know what's up with Monistat I never had such a reaction and it had worked before.

I see now why it is designed to use at night. I have an 11 month old who still wakes up at night. I had to get up to nurse him, then I used the bathroom. I am now on hour 2 of being awake with the most intense burning and itching EVER. If I had known that the "remedy" was going to be worse than the infection, I would NOT have chosen this. The only reason I chose Monistat 1 in the first place is because Diflucan is not approved for nursing mothers. If at all possible, find another product!!

I just got home from my OBGYN. I had a UTI and took antibiotics which caused a yeast infection. I figured I would get to the OB eventually but would try this in the meantime. I used it last night and holy God almighty. It was like fire ants had crawled inside of my body. I have never experienced such awful burning and pain. I tried to shower and clean it out, then eventually tried to douche to get this terrible stuff out of my body. Getting it out quickly helped but I went to the OB today and he took one look and said, you poor poor thing. My doctor said that he used to work for the FDA and likened this stuff to a chemical burn inside your body. He said it is an entirely different chemical that monistat 7, and that it should not be legal. He used some long cotton swabs to get the rest of it out and gave me a prescription for an oral pill for the yeast infection. Thank God that is over.

using this product for my mild yeast infection resulted in a nightmare of side effects worse than the original yeast infection symptoms. i was up all night crying with pain and burning, just like the other reviews say. i resorted to ice packs for some relief and just prayed for morning to come so i could get myself to urgent care for a prescription for diflucan. i would not wish this torture on anyone. if i ever use monistat again, it will be the monistat 7, which i had no problems with in the past. i don't understand how monistat 1 ever made it to the shelves.
