Monistat 7 Day Vaginal Cream

Monistat 7 Vaginal Cream is an over-the-counter medication used to treat vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis). Here's a breakdown of its key features:

Active Ingredient:

• Miconazole Nitrate (2%): This antifungal ingredient works by disrupting the growth of the fungus (Candida albicans) responsible for the infection, ultimately killing it and clearing the infection.

Treatment Duration:

Monistat 7 Vaginal Cream offers a 7-day treatment regimen. You'll use one prefilled applicator full of cream for one night, delivering a single, high dose of miconazole to fight the infection.

How to Use:

• Preparation: Wash and dry your vaginal area thoroughly before using the cream.

• Application: Monistat 7 Vaginal Cream typically comes with prefilled applicators for internal application.

  • Follow the instructions provided with the product to use the applicator to insert one applicator full of cream high into the vagina, preferably before bedtime.

Possible Side Effects:

Monistat 7 Vaginal Cream 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 Vaginal Cream if you are allergic to miconazole nitrate or any other ingredients in the cream.
• 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 Vaginal Cream 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 Vaginal Cream, as your partner can potentially contract the yeast infection.

Important:

• While Monistat 7 Vaginal Cream 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.
