NO NO NO NO NO NO NO, February 20, 2009
This review is from: Monistat 1 Vaginal Antifungal Day or Night 1-Day Treatment Combination Pack (Health and Beauty)
I get regular (2/year) yeast infections and was too lazy to get a diflucan refill for my most recent one since it was so mild. Instead I tried this product since I had always had good experiences with the 3 and 7 day kits. After using it before bed, I woke up at 5am and thought my uterus was going to fall out - the burning was so so so so bad. If only I had read these reviews before using it. After a few hours of tossing and turning close to tears, it finally started to go away at least enough to sit at my desk at work all day. I ended up having to call my doctor for a visit and refill anyway. Bottom line - I wasted $20, lost 4 hours sleep, had to deal with unbearable burning, and had to go to the doctor anyway for a yeast infection that was worse than if I had just plain ignored it. NEVER AGAIN.

Causes HORRIBLE reaction!!, November 30, 2009
This review is from: Monistat 1 Vaginal Antifungal Day or Night 1-Day Treatment Combination Pack (Health and Beauty)
I'm up at 2am suffering from the WORST reaction I've ever had to any kind of medication! I used the Monistat 1 day ovule at 11pm right before bed, and was literally woken up in the middle of the night with excrutiating burining and itching! I took a bath and tried to get as much of the medication out of me as possible by inserting tampon after tampon to pull out excess medication, but to no avail. I'm typing this review because I can't go back to bed and hope it prevents any other women from experiencing what I'm going through right now. I echo the sentiments of other women that this product should be taken off the shelves!! Please please please save yourself a sleepless night and don't use this. My yeast infection symptoms were MUCH more bearible than this! Ugh, what a nightmare!!

Monistat 1 isn't so bad!, December 6, 2010
This review is from: Monistat 1 Vaginal Antifungal Day or Night 1-Day Treatment Combination Pack (Health and Beauty)
This was the first time I had ever had a yeast infection and I was in no mood to go to the doctor. I had been on antiobiotics for 2 weeks to kick a bad cold and I'm pretty sure that the antiobiotics were what caused the problem. I ran to the store and decided on Monistat 1 because I just wanted to get rid of the problem and stop all the pain and itching. It was easy to get in and the cream that came with it gave pretty immediate relief. I wasn't sure when to expect results so I decided to look at some reviews of the product for more information...and I was terrified. Everyone seemed to complain about intense burning and even more itching. I panicked and waited around for hours for the burning to come...and it never did. Maybe a bit of a mild sensation about an hour in, but it lasted all of 15 minutes and I didn't feel anything else at all. By the next day the swelling had gone down and the itching was greatly reduced. By day three the infection was completely gone. I have no idea why so many others had such bad reactions, but I never even noticed that it was in me. If you do decide to take it, make sure you take it at night when you go to sleep. Sitting up makes it leak a little bit and thats slightly annoying, but that might be the only complaint I have on this product. I liked Monistat 1, its really not that bad at all.
