What is Monistat 3
MiconazoleThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryMiconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat yeast infections of the mouth and vagina. It also has some activity against certain types of bacteria. It is available as a variety of products, including suppositories, creams, gels, and tablets. Miconazole works by inhibiting the activity of a fungal enzyme called CYP450 14α-lanosterol demethylase. It was first approved by the FDA in 1974 and is still used today. Resistance to miconazole is relatively rare.

Effectiveness
How Monistat 3 Affects PatientsMiconazole is an antifungal medication that works by blocking an enzyme in the body. It is usually applied directly to the skin, and very little of it enters the bloodstream. Most people do not have side effects, but some may experience allergic reactions or anaphylaxis. People using this medication vaginally should not rely on birth control or tampons to prevent pregnancy or infection.
How Monistat 3 works in the bodyMiconazole works in three main ways to fight fungal infections caused by Candida. Firstly, it stops the fungus from making a protective covering that helps it survive. Secondly, it stimulates the production of chemicals within the cell that cause it to die. Lastly, it prevents the fungus from forming biofilms, which are resistant to antibiotics. It does this by stopping the fungus from changing into its more resilient form.

Monistat 3 Reviews: What are patients saying about Monistat 3?
5Patient Review
8/13/2022 Monistat 3 day worked great for me! I followed the instructions and inserted it before bed. The redness went away after the first dose, and the swelling and itching after the second. I felt 100% better and took the third dose as a precautionary measure. I would highly recommend this product to anyone experiencing similar issues.
5Patient Review
8/13/2022 Monistat definitely addressed the redness I was dealing with, and it didn't even take the full three days!
4Patient Review
7/1/2022 This treatment really works. I've experienced many yeast infections over the years and this medication has worked for me just as well as a pill from the doctor. I've even had my doctor recommend Monistat to me when the pill didn't work. There is some uncomfortable itching and the annoyance of having to wear a liner because of discharge, but it beats a yeast infection.
4Patient Review
7/1/2022 Monistat has been just as effective for me as a pill from the doctor, if not more so. I've even had my doctor recommend it to me in the past when other treatments haven't worked. The itching can be a bit uncomfortable and there's also the discharge to deal with, but it's still preferable to a yeast infection.
3.3Patient Review
10/22/2022 While this did work for me, it was quite painful to apply. I would recommend getting a diagnosis first if possible, as some other treatments may be more effective depending on the cause of your infection.
3.3Patient Review
5/23/2022 Before I got monistat 3, I had small indications that I had a yeast infection: a little itch and burn, and white heavy discharge. So, on day 1 of monistat insertion with a rub of the ointment, I was in so much agony. I felt itchy and hurting. My bf was my support and I have my weed card so I smoked too but it lasted like 2 or 3 hours then the 2nd painful irritation after insertion was unbearable for 2 hours then the 3rd day of insertion went through unbearable irritation for an hour ...
3.3Patient Review
10/22/2022 If you have sensitive skin, this might cause some burning. But if you've been diagnosed with a yeast infection, it's worth trying as other treatments haven't worked for me in the past.
3.3Patient Review
5/23/2022 The insertion process was more painful than I anticipated, but the results were worth it.
2.3Patient Review
8/28/2022 The first ovule worked as it should have, but the next two were incredibly hard. I had to peel off the outer shell and hold it under hot water until it was soft enough to use. This seems like a safety concern since it could take longer to dissolve than intended.
2.3Patient Review
8/28/2022 Two of the ovules were really hard. The first one worked right, dissolved immediately, but after that it was so hard, I didn't even try to use it that way again. I held it under hot water until I could peel off the outer shell and then it was fine. I doubt whatever that is made of is safe since it could harden and possibly take longer to dissolve than was intended.
2Patient Review
10/22/2022 I've used the 7 day treatment before with no issues, but this 3 day version caused burning and itching. I won't be using it again!
2Patient Review
10/22/2022 I’ve used the 7 day treatment in the past with no issues. This is the first time I’ve used the 3 day treatment. It has caused severe burning and itching. I’ll never use the 3 day again!
1.3Patient Review
3/18/2022 I made the mistake of not reading the reviews before purchasing this product and I am now regretting it. I am up in the middle of the night with burning sensations, just like everyone else has mentioned. Save your money and go to the doctor instead.
1.3Patient Review
3/18/2022 I made the mistake of not reading reviews before buying this, and now I'm up in the middle of the night with burning sensations. From what I can tell, it's not worth the money to buy this when you could just go to the doctor instead. Save your money for something more enjoyable, like ice cream!
1Patient Review
9/19/2022 I've used this medication before and it worked great, but this time was the most pain I've ever experienced in my life. The burning and itching were unbearable. I got some relief after mixing it with Vagasil.
1Patient Review
6/9/2022 I regret purchasing Monistat 3 from Walmart. Today is only day two of using it, and the pain is unbearable. I feel like there's hot grease in my vagina. Definitely do not recommend this product.
1Patient Review
9/19/2022 In the past, this medication has worked for me. This time around, however, it was incredibly painful and intense burning and itching. I got some relief after mixing it with Vagasil.

6/9/2022 I bought Monistat 3 from Walmart, and after using it today (day 2), I regret not just going to the doctor. The pain is unbearable. It feels like there's hot grease in my vagina. Definitely do not recommend.
