Product Information

Full details

MONISTAT 1-Dose Yeast Infection Treatment is designed for adult women seeking a quick and effective single-dose solution for most vaginal yeast infections, coupled with external itch relief. Its key benefit is the convenience of a one-dose ovule and a separate external cream for immediate symptom management. A caveat is that it's intended for women who have been previously diagnosed with a yeast infection by a doctor; new or severe symptoms require medical consultation.

FAQs

Who should use MONISTAT 1?

MONISTAT 1 is intended for adult women and children 12 years and older (under doctor's advice) who have been previously diagnosed with a vaginal yeast infection by a doctor and are experiencing symptoms consistent with a yeast infection.

When should I see a doctor before using this product?

Consult your doctor if this is your first time experiencing vaginal itching and discomfort, if you have pain in your lower abdomen, back, or shoulders, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, or a foul-smelling vaginal discharge. Also consult if you have frequent yeast infections (once a month or 3 times in 6 months).

How long does it take to work?

For most women, symptoms do not disappear completely in one day. Most women observe some improvement after 1 day and complete symptom relief by day 7.

Can I have sex while using MONISTAT 1?

It is advised to avoid sexual intercourse while using this product. Additionally, MONISTAT 1 can damage latex condoms and diaphragms, making them less effective for STD and pregnancy prevention.

What are the active ingredients?

The active ingredients are Miconazole Nitrate 1200mg (in the vaginal insert ovule) and Miconazole Nitrate 2% (in the external use cream).

How should I store the product?

Store MONISTAT 1 at room temperature, between 20º and 25ºC (68º-77ºF).

What if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before using this medicine.

Can I use other vaginal products with MONISTAT 1?

No, do not use tampons, douches, or other vaginal products while using MONISTAT 1, as they may interfere with the treatment or cause further irritation.

Troubleshooting

Product seems messy or leaks.

For best results, insert the ovule deeply into the vagina, preferably before lying down to sleep. Using a panty liner can help manage any potential leakage.

Experiencing increased burning or itching.

Some mild burning, itching, or irritation may occur. If these symptoms persist or worsen significantly, stop use and consult your doctor. You may need to use other products for symptom relief.

Symptoms do not improve after 3 days or persist after 7 days.

Stop using the product and consult your doctor. You may have a more serious condition or require a different treatment.

Product packaging is open or damaged.

Do not use the product if the sealed safety bag is torn, open, or not completely closed, or if the seal on the tube opening is punctured. Do not buy if the box is open.
