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!!

Worst pain ever. Do not buy., August 25, 2009
This review is from: Monistat 1 Vaginal Antifungal Day or Night 1-Day Treatment Combination Pack (Health and Beauty)
I wish I had read the reviews of this product before purchasing it. This is my first time using it and wanted to treat my recurring yeast infection without needing to go to the doctor. First of all, do NOT use this during the day. After it melts, you're left with a horrible goopy mess to deal with and any actions such as walking will cause it to leak. Secondly, I thought I had a severe allergic reaction to this but it turns out most people who have tried this, according to the reviews, have had the same HORRIFIC itching/burning that made me simultaneously want to scream and cry. It feels like someone pouring alcohol on a cut, or like tiny shards of glass are inside you. The side effect was 20 times worse than any yeast infection could ever be. Washing it out will only make it slightly better. Basically you just have to suffer until it subsides..I'm writing this 4 hours after I took it... still waiting to see if this actually helps my yeast infection.
Anyone who claims that this product didn't affect them that way or that some of these reviews are exaggerations is WRONG. Do not buy this product or you will regret it. I haven't tried the 3 or 7 day treatments but from what I have found it seems to be a much better alternative to this.
