"Used Tuesday night, thinking everything would be okay, and by Wednesday morning my vagina had blown 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."

"I went in the store looking for the Monistat 7-day treatment because I’ve used it before and liked it. Well, this product was the only thing they had, so I grabbed it. After inserting it, probably about 10 minutes later, I started itching and burning worse than before. I moved around to ease the pain for about 15 to 20 minutes before getting on the toilet to get some of it out. After about 30 minutes, it was “calming” down some. I slept fine and woke up at about 7:30 with some itching, and here it is at 1:00, and I feel fine. I would probably purchase again if I can’t get Monistat 7. Lol."

"NIGHTMARE. The burning and itching were so bad I had to take a bath at midnight and flush my vagina out. Did fix the issue though, in case that's helpful to anyone else. Having a yeast infection is way better than putting this toxic waste into your vag."

"I recently just got rid of bacterial vaginosis (BV), and the antibiotics made me get a yeast infection. Constant itch and burning. My discharge was like cottage cheese. After purchasing the $20 1 Day treatment, I feel instant relief. If you do not insert the ovule far enough, it won’t work as well, and you will feel a burning sensation. Or you might be dealing with BV or an STD."

"This product worked great. I felt almost complete relief after the first day. The medicine did increase vaginal burning and itching after inserting it, but nothing unbearable. Within 24 hours, I felt fine with almost no more symptoms. I would definitely recommend."

"So I suspected I had a yeast infection. I’ve had one before and recognized the symptoms, so I decided to use Tioconazole 1 Day because I’ve used it before and it was amazing. I didn’t get any itching or burning or pain, so that’s why I bought it again. For some reason, this time after inserting, I’m feeling burning and super itchy inside of my who-ha. It is a super uncomfortable feeling. In the beginning, I was going crazy, but now I’m 15-20 minutes in and it still really burns and itches, but I’m tolerating it. I hope I don’t get swelling or pain like some of the reviews say. I can say this is the first time I experienced something like this with the product. I have a high pain tolerance, so maybe that’s why I’m not feeling it so bad, but it is the main side effects on the box with this product. It’s a hit or miss with the side effects. You can be like me the first time around and it not bother at all, or like me now where it’s itching and burning really bad."

"I purchased my Tioconazole 1 Day, and after inserting the cream, I did feel some mild itching and burning, but for me, it was tolerable. The next day, I woke up, and the itching had decreased, and so had the pain, but I did experience some swelling, but also tolerable. Although the cream has to be pretty strong since it's a 1-day application, the instructions advise waiting at most 7 days for all symptoms to clear, so I have 5 more days to hopefully be yeast infection-free. Overall, I did not experience the extreme negative effects as others and would buy again (if my funds are low and I have a yeast infection)."

"DO NOT USE! About 30 seconds after inserting the Tioconazole gel, it felt like fire and crazy itching, followed by so much painful swelling. I ended up in the bathtub at 4 a.m., begging for relief. Four hours after my bath, I'm still in pain, swollen, and wondering how I'm going to get through my day when walking is almost impossible! They should not be selling this product!!!"

"PLEASE DO NOT BUY IF SENSITIVE VAGINA!! I noticed more people liked it with positive results, it really depends on if you have a sensitive vagina or not. I used this product and immediately felt burning. My mom said since you have a YI it’s normal, it’s working, but no, I was having irritation to the product, and I didn’t know this because this was my first time using it. Woke up, I thought my vagina was tighter, but no, it was swollen, very swollen. I read the results, and I noticed I’m not the only one. I’m gonna try to wait it out to see if the swelling goes down before I go to the doctor, but if you're aware that you have a sensitive vagina, please do not use."

"By far one of the worst experiences I ever had. I used this and probably about 45 minutes in, I couldn’t take it anymore, it itched so bad! I ended up jumping in the shower and doing all I could to wash it out. On the plus side, my yeast infection seems to be gone, but it felt like absolute torture."

"I usually take regular Monistat (miconazole) 1 day for yeast infections and experience the same symptoms described here (itching, burning, extreme pain) for about 2-3 hours a few hours after inserting the product, and have learned to deal with it as I find this to be the most convenient solution overall for a yeast infection. All my pharmacy had this time was this alternative. I had a moderate yeast infection that I'd been dealing with for about two days when inserting this product. Immediately, I noticed some itching and burning, but it was nowhere near as bad as with the regular Monistat. If you are willing to deal with some discomfort and have had issues with regular Monistat before, I'd recommend this."

"I'm using this Tioconazole now, having inserted it at 1:50 AM (about 12 minutes ago). I do have the increased burning and itching, but I do know it means the medication is working. I'm extremely prone to vaginal yeast infections; we are talking one every month or so. I just started a round of antibiotics on Monday, May 11th, and as a preventative measure, my doctor gave me Diflucan to take on Monday and then on Thursday to keep the infection away. The way my body is, I don't feel anything, and then bam! I'm itching so bad I'm making myself bleed. Unfortunately, the Diflucan didn't help this time. I'm also extremely allergic to miconazole (Monistat), but the pharmacist believes it's an additive and not the actual medication, as Diflucan (the generic brand being fluconazole) is in the same class of antifungals. Took some sleeping meds, so hopefully, I'll be much better in the morning. Just gotta get past the itching and burnings, which again, shows that it's doing its job."

"So usually the other stuff works better like everyone saying, but I saw this Tioconazole 1 Day and it was the cheapest, and one day it has 200 mg. It didn't come with outside cream, so I used some that was in the tube and put it on the outside right when I was going to bed. It started burning like I just wiped with a chili pepper or something. I started to try to get the pain off my mind, but it got worse to the point I had to wipe it off from the outside. When I woke up today, Thu, July 30th, I went to go to the bathroom. Once I did, it started burning worse and itching so badly. I didn't have itching, just irritation, so I thought it was a yeast infection, maybe it wasn't, but it hurts so bad now. I recommend not using it because on the package it says it causes burning, and I know people don't want that while having a yeast infection. Stay safe, and ps if medicine hurts you, which it's not supposed to, don't use it again if you have a sensitive vagina."

"So I used this product last night, and I experienced some itching and burning, but nothing too bad. I woke up this morning, and again the burning was there, but still not too bad. I have experienced some major swelling on and around the vaginal area. I’m hoping in a few days it will subside and my yeast infection will be gone."

"I put this in about 9 PM last night before I read all y'all reviews, so I kinda got spooked, but I didn't experience any burning, itching, or discomfort. The gel did melt everywhere outside my vagina, which took away any itchiness from my vulva. I recommend sleeping with no panties so you can really air out, just be cautious not to stain anything. It's about 11 AM, and I can tell my YI is completely gone. I am going to shower and wipe all the melted gel off my outsides and let the rest of the medicine still inside me marinate throughout the day."

"Noticed clumpy discharge and some mild itching, so I decided to buy this product - the CVS brand. Minor itching and burning for about an hour after insertion, and lots of leakage, but no problems other than that! Starting to feel major relief."

"I got a yeast infection after a long course of antibiotics for a sinus infection. I bought the Dollar General one-day treatment. I had absolutely no problems with it. In reading the reviews, I was apprehensive, but didn't want to drive 20 miles to the nearest drugstore. The only thing I experienced was a warm feeling...not at all painful or uncomfortable in any way. I don't know why so many of the reviews were so awful, but everyone is different. This was the first yeast infection I ever had in my life (62 yrs old). I would recommend it. No problem whatsoever."

"Not gonna lie, after reading all these reviews, I was terrified to use the medication. I put it in before bed last night and laid there terrified of what was about to happen, but nothing happened. I only noticed a little bit of itching and, of course, the annoying leakage. Otherwise, my experience was fine. I would use this again. The ones who said it felt like death must’ve had a bad case of a yeast infection."

"I have had a YI for two days, and I went to the doctor yesterday about it. They did a test and had it sent to the lab. It’s been 36 hours since my appointment, and I still haven’t received the results, and it is awful. I’ve been taking the Azo yeast infection symptom relief, and it’s helped, but I’m still itchy. As soon as I inserted this, I started to feel the burning. I thought it may just be because it’s fighting the yeast off, but wow, I’ve never been in so much pain. It’s so much worse than the normal itchy feeling. I looked up reviews to make sure this wasn’t an allergic reaction or something, and all the reviews say the same thing. I feel like fire ants have made a nest in my lady parts :,( I gave it 20 minutes, and that was about all I could take before I jumped in the bath with some Epsom salt and rinsed it all away. I don’t recommend. I’m not sure if the 20 minutes was enough to get rid of any yeast, but it was enough to light a flame inside of me, we will see tomorrow."

"I used the CVS brand Tioconazole ointment 6.5% for a mild yeast infection. After insertion, I read all the horrible reviews and was scared to death at what I was about to go through. However, I experienced no itching and no burning. Of course, I had some leakage the next day, so I would suggest wearing a panty liner, but other than that, this treatment worked great! Definitely will use again if needed."

"I used the generic Monistat 1 (tioconazole), and for the first few hours, it was great-no burning, and I fell asleep quickly. A few hours later, I woke up absolutely dying. It burned so much, and my vulvar lips were so swollen (HUGE!), so red and visibly irritated. I had to use an ice pack to help decrease some of the pain. I left the ointment in because I figured I already suffered this much, I might as well let it do its job. By the time I woke up, though, the swelling had gone down considerably, no more burning, and my yeast infection felt 90% better (I'm still using the topical miconazole from a previous package to help with the mild residual itch). So even though it's a few hours of literal torture and you will lose sleep, it did work well."

"After reading the reviews, I was terrified to use the Tioconazole I had just purchased. I normally use Monistat but grabbed the wrong box, so I went here to look at reviews. I bit the bullet and decided to try it… honestly, it wasn’t bad at all. I had the tiniest amount of burning, but it was more like a numbing feel. I did it before bed but ended up staying up for a couple of hours after (insomnia) and didn’t feel anything more than the little numbing feel. Please don’t be discouraged by the reviews. Give it a try for yourself, like I said, it wasn’t bad at all!"

"I started to treat with natural methods (inserting garlic and then tried apple cider vinegar drops), and they alleviated the symptoms, but the yeast infection wasn’t going away. I picked up the generic version of Monistat one day at Target. It was like $11. I was really freaked out by the reviews, but I decided to use it anyway. Great results. No burning or excessive itching like other people reported. The skin on the opening of my vagina was very raw, so I was really concerned about the burning, but I didn’t get any of that at all. I woke up the next morning and externally I was still itchy, so I rubbed the excess gel/cream on it, and after a few hours, ALL SYMPTOMS WERE ALLEVIATED. I think the trick to avoiding burning is putting the cream in as deep as you can, like the instructions say. It’s gonna melt and trickle down anyway. Anyway, I definitely recommend it. I tried it on Wednesday, and I am all cleared up."

"Don't ever use this product. I only had it for 10 minutes inside me. The cream made me burn as if I was on fire, then itch so much it made me cry. I was in so much pain I couldn't stop moving off the bed with the pain I had. I went to the bathroom to wash it out. I will never, ever use this again - it burnt me so much I still have some pain, and I am using ice resting there to make it numb. This is not a good product. It just makes it worse. What is it? I still can't believe how bad the pain is. So please don't buy."

"I think this medication is great. I know everyone is different, and yes, there is slight itching/burning after you first insert, but to me it means it is working. It is a stronger dose because it’s a 1-day treatment. It’s quick and easy and works super fast. I’ve used it a few times now and definitely would use again. It’s not even really messy, although yes, use a liner for the day after."
