Monistat 7 day Dual-Pak

Monistat 7 Dual-Pak is a complete treatment for vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis) offered by Monistat. It combines two medications in one package to address both the internal infection and external symptoms:

Components:

1. Monistat 7 Vaginal Cream (Miconazole Nitrate 2%): This comes with either prefilled applicators or a tube and applicators for self-filling. It delivers a single, high dose of miconazole nitrate (typically 2%) directly into the vagina to fight the internal fungal infection.

2. Monistat Derm Cream (Miconazole Nitrate 2%): This external cream provides relief from itching and burning associated with the yeast infection in the vulvar area (external vaginal area).

Benefits:

• Convenience: Combines internal and external treatment in one package.
• Effective: Miconazole nitrate is a well-established antifungal medication for treating yeast infections.
• Fast-Acting: Provides relief from symptoms within a few days.
• Over-the-Counter (OTC): Typically available over-the-counter in many countries, allowing easier access without a prescription.

Directions:

• Monistat 7 Vaginal Cream:

  • Wash and dry your vaginal area thoroughly before using the cream.
  • Follow the instructions provided with the product for using the applicator to insert one full applicator-full of cream high into the vagina, preferably before bedtime.
  • You only need to use the vaginal cream once for the entire treatment.

• Monistat Derm Cream:

  • Wash and dry the affected area thoroughly.
  • Apply a thin layer of the cream to the itchy and burning areas around the vagina.
  • Gently rub it in.
  • You can use the Monistat Derm Cream for up to 7 days for ongoing symptom relief, even after completing the internal treatment with the vaginal cream.
  • Wash your hands after applying the cream.

Possible Side Effects:

Monistat 7 Dual-Pak is generally well-tolerated, but some mild side effects can occur, including:

• Burning sensation in the vagina
• Itching in the vagina
• Vulvar irritation

These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own within a short period. However, consult your doctor if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.

Warnings and Precautions:

• Do not use Monistat 7 Dual-Pak if you are allergic to miconazole nitrate or any other ingredients in the product.
• If you experience severe vaginal burning, irritation, or worsening of symptoms, discontinue use and consult your doctor. There could be another underlying cause for your symptoms.
• Consult your doctor before using Monistat 7 Dual-Pak if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or suspect you might be pregnant.
• It's generally recommended to avoid sexual intercourse or use a condom while using Monistat 7 Dual-Pak, as your partner can potentially contract the yeast infection.

• While Monistat 7 Dual-Pak is available over-the-counter, it's always best to discuss your symptoms with a doctor, especially if you experience recurrent yeast infections or if this is your first time experiencing symptoms.
