Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "this is the first review I've left in anything ever because I think as girls it's important we have eachothers backs on things like this. FIRST. When you take this, be sure to have a bottle m of wine ready and some serious distraction. Don't think you can just pop it in and feel better in a few hours. This thing will burn and itch like the devil himself is inside of you, BUT. you're putting something in you that's expected to treat you over night that is really supposed to be span of 7-10 days. That's a whole lot of chemicals in your already sensative lady parts. So it will burn and itch like hell, and I wouldn't recommend it if you have a low pain tolerance. But if you can open a bottle of wine and clean your house. Promise it works!!!"

Tioconazole 1 Day (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I purchased this Tioconazole 1 Day product on a Tuesday and just like the others, my vagina swelled shut. I was in terrible pain. I’m on Jardiance so YI are common and normally I’d take diflucan or I would Monistat 7 and in a day or so I’m good. However using this product is a different story. Here it is Friday and I’m still itching and in pain. This product is not worth the $10 I paid. I highly recommend that this product is avoided at all cost. It was not effective and caused me pain."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "It has been 3 years since I tried this product. Somehow I had forgotten how horrible it is! I used the Monistat 1 Day ovule at 4pm for a standard yeast infection, wanted to stop it before it was full blown. By midnight my vag was on Fire and by 2am my labia was so swollen it was hard to walk without pain! I used this 38 hours ago and I'm still in pain!! This Product Is Poison!!! Do Not Use if you value your health & sanity! Nightmare! Shame on the partner companies (Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc., the makers of MONISTAT®, and Vertical Pharmaceuticals, LLC ) that make soo much money off a Known severe symptom causing product. All female executives that have a hand in marketing and promoting this product need a sample dose of the Fire Ovule!"

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "NO. Do not take this, ladies! Unless you want burning, itching, swollen lady parts, that is. I applied this as I laid down to sleep, just like I would with Monistat 7, but immediately felt the fires of hell erupting inside and out of the last place any sane person would pick to feel it. Finally got to sleep after splashing with cold water and laying down naked from the waist down, only to feel more (less intense) burning when I woke up again at 1:15 in the morning. If it's too late for you, the best remedy seems to be a cool bath. Heaven help us all. If it's not too late for you, JUST SAY NO. This drug should NOT be on the shelves! Really, FDA??!"

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This is the worst pain I have ever experienced. I can imagine only giving birth being worse. I had itching and burning that was very uncomfortable but tolerable before the Monistat 1. After the Monistat 1, the pain became so bad that I had to consciously breath to keep myself from loosing my temper. I went to the obgyn and when she tested me it hurt so bad that I actually cried... It would not have been that bad without the Monistat. She did explain that the yeast can create little cuts basically and when you put the cream in there it can cause burning. Just like putting alcohol on a cut.... So that's the explanation for it and it doesn't make me angry with Monistat. I'm just ready for this to be gone..."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "They should really put a warning on the label of this medication. Used it at bedtime woke up at 1 a.m. with a burning itching that was not relieved by any method. Completely miserable I do not know why so many women react this way but there should be a significant warning place on the label I'm going to reach out to the FDA. Beware of this medication hopefully you read this before use not after. There's nothing that's been able to relieve the inflammation pain and itching I'd rather have a yeast infection for the rest of my life then you have to feel this way."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I of course like many unsuspecting victims, went to buy this product without reading the information/reviews on it first. Once injected I read the reviews and of course freaked out due to all the negative comments. I used the Monistat one day ovule, I was preparing myself for the worst discomfort but all I got was some slight burning and itching, nothing unbearable. I had the discomfort for probably about an hour and then it went away and I already feel my symptoms disappearing. I'm not sure why some people on here had such bad reactions but I just wanted to share my experience and say that it wasn't bad at all!"

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Ok so I bought this tonight before I read reviews. I applied it and 10 min later I was in pain......I couldn't believe the itching and burning. I then started reading reviews and I was like - what did I do? I was debating taking a shower and removing all cream or sticking it out while I did some research and watched Netflix. Well after 40 min I started to feel relief and now it's very mild. Clearly the medication for 1 day is way stronger but I'm hoping that by tomorrow morning I'll be much better. Now that the burning stopped I can go to sleep. Ladies good luck and hope you feel better soon."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have used Monistat 1 about a year ago and a few more times before, worked great, relief within 24 hours. My current experience is a complete 180. The burning and itching is unbearable. I can't imagine what the makers have done differently, they need to go back to the original formula, which worked fine. I wish I used the 3 day or just went to the Dr. It's bedtime, but the pain is keeping me awake. I will never purchase again!!!!"

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This was my second YI. The first time I used the 3 day but stopped after day 2 because I felt so much better. So this time I decided to go with the 1 day to get it over with. I put it in right before bed and then, like so many others, read these terrible reviews. I braced myself for the worst and went to bed. I honestly didn't sleep very well because I was expecting to wake up in pain. But I didn't. No burning, minimal itching. I peed twice in middle of the night and made sure to wipe back to front. My only complaint would be the discharge, though it's to be expected. Just used a panty liner and no big deal. Woke up in the morning, took a shower and used the wipes and I feel no symptoms. I think it's trial and error but no complaints from m"

Tioconazole 1 Day (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Used Tuesday night thinking everything would be ok, and by Wednesday morning my vagina had blew up like a hot air balloon. I had a CRAZY reaction to this cream. I can’t even walk correctly due to my vagina being SO very swollen. Please ask your doctor before using this or just don’t use it at all. I bought the Dollar General 1-day treatment and I regret it so much. This was a horrible and uncomfortable experience for me. I ended up going to urgent care and the doctor cleaned as much of the cream out as she could. PLEASE guys don’t use this. Don’t use any off brand yeast infection medicine."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I got the Monistat 1 Day pack yesterday to treat a yeast infection I contracted while on vacation, that I'd had for about a month. This is first yeast infection I've had, I am 18. Before taking it, I came on here to read reviews to see if it would really work.. and to say the least, it only made me terrified. I thought I was going to be miserably awoken to a burning, swollen vagina. But, for some reason I took it anyway. Inserted around 1 am, then went to bed. Did not wake up at all. Woke up around 10 am feeling only the slightest bit of discomfort. Only thing I've experienced is the normal discharge of the medicine. Nothing even close to unbearable. I've been itch free all day thus far! This product worked perfectly for me!"

Tioconazole 1 Day (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I purchased the Rite Aid brand 1 day Ticonazole after the Diflucan treatment failed..I'm so glad I did.. The day after I applied the medicine I only experienced a little bit of swelling and burning which was totally tolerable. After 2 days the itching had stopped and all symptoms were and gone after 3 days.. This will be my go-to otc med from now on if I ever need to use it again!"

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "So i developed a YI from a steam room I believe. I have gotten a few of them recently. I've taken the monostat 1 day treatment with the "evil egg" and that made it unbearable - worst experience ever. I just sat in the tub and cried a little lol So when i developed another YI I went to my Dr because I did not want to go through that again. She recommended the prefilled applicator 6.5 - THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE MONOSTAT 1 CAPSULE... the itchiness is very mild and not nearly as gooey. BUY MONOSTAT 1 PREFILLED 6.5 -- DO NOT BUY THE CAPSULE MONISTAT 1 The 6.5 is quick relief and doesn't torture your "who-ha". Best of luck ladies!"

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I looked into it and burning from monistat often occurs when you have an infection other than a yeast infection because the pH levels are different and cause a different reaction. Yeast infections don't change pH in this way. Use an infection screening kit from any pharmacy and make SURE you only have a yeast infection before using monistat... I had only a yeast infection and therefore experienced none of this itching or burning, just light cramps."

Tioconazole 1 Day (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "So I just inserted the medicine and I don't feel any extra burning or itching so maybe because I inserted the ointment in far enough but yeah it's going well so far. I'm sleeping with thin cotton underwear on to air out a little and will probably just wear a pad tomorrow since someone said to because it melts. It's been about an hour tho and I actually feel better. Maybe it's my mind telling me that the yeast infection will go away now that I have medicine or maybe it's really the medicine but either way I already feel better and I can sleep!!"

Tioconazole 1 Day (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Tioconazole worked wonders for me! I took it 2 days after I noticed my YI coming on... (I’ve had them in the past so I knew what it was right away) and I did NOT experience any of the crazy burning or itching like the other reviews say. But I did have a slight itch after I took it but nothing unbearable. It took 4 days for my symptoms to be completely gone. I will use this again if I ever need it!"

Tioconazole 1 Day (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "This has been one of the worse decision I’ve made. I had mild symptoms to start. I thought I’d try it to completely be clear of it since it’s only one day. I regret it so badly. I decided to look at reviews, yes after, because it’s so uncomfortable and itchy (but I don’t scratch which makes it harder) and thought this isn’t normal because I’ve used others and they have worked. This caught me by surprise. I applied it around 11pm last night and it’s 11:am right now and I still feel discomfort but thankfully it isn’t as bad, mostly it’s just throbbing. Don’t buy it ladies, it’s not worth it at all."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I was afraid to use this product after reading all of the negative reviews, but I knew I had a yeast infection and did not want to waste extra time and money to go to the doctor. I did not have any of the problems that other users listed. The most that I experienced was a little bit of mild heat after I inserted the ovule, but no burning or itching. This product does cause discharge so I would recommend using panty liners or pads. It cleared up my symptoms within two days and I feel much better. Would recommend!"

Tioconazole 1 Day (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Like most here on this web site, laying down, itching and burning, trying not to think, so I can ignore jt as much as possible. Not as painful as other medications I've tried before. I tried Monistat a couple of months ago but it didn't do anything so I'm trying this because It's a stronger treatment. Not unbearable, but most definitely it burns"

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I read the reviews after I took this. Usually I do it before but my vagina was on a crazy itchy spree. So I took whatever my husband brought home because I couldn't even walk without itching lol. Anyways these reviews scared the hell outta me. I put the egg in around 2pm I waited a few hours to feel the crazy burning but it never happened. Instead I felt a nice hot/cool feeling like the way mint feels in your mouth. I had a good experience. It's the next day so far its taken the problem away. I do recommend a panty liner on your underwear. Unless you do what I did wear old underwear & threw them out. Everyone is different! So here is the not so scary review."

Monistat 1 Vaginal Ointment (tioconazole) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Holy mother. Dying right now. I had moderate swelling and itching from the YI, placed this in at night time. The next time I had a bowel movement the evil egg started to ooze out. My vagina has swollen AT LEAST twice it's size. I feel like I'm being chemically burned. Goopy, which is fine - who cares...but the BURN AND THE SWELLING. I feel like this is worse than my YI. I just finished rocking back and forth naked, on all fours, on my bathroom floor.
