Question 1

i  was given terconazole for a  infection a  year ago and i think i re-infected myself. would monistat 7 do the same or nothing at all?

Accepted Answer

Yeast: If it is a yeast infection then using Monistat would be appropriate

Question 2

i've been using terconazole 4% cream for 2 days. it's not working. can i switch to monistat 3 mid treatment?

Accepted Answer

Sure: But give the terconazole a little longer.  U may still have some sx's for a day or 2 even after infection done.  If not better in a few days and did not see a doc there is a chance it's not a yeast infection.  It likely is though and u can certainly switch to monistat. Good luck.

Question 3

i have recurring yeast infection. i've tried monistat, 6 month diflucan, (fluconazole) (cured me for about 4 months)and terconazole. is there other things i can try?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your Dr: Diseases such as diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and poor nutrition are other factors to ask your dr. Also you may no longer have yeast but another problem altogether!

Question 4

i'm 5 months pregnant and have a yeast infection. something in monistat makes me break out and burn and itch bad. is terconazole 0.4% cream ok to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes definitely: These are very similar medications that are both used to treat yeast or fungal infections. They are equally as efficacious at doing so. No worries at all.  Good luck!

Question 5

i think i have a resistant yeast infection,  what should i do? (yeast confirmed 3x by obgyn, took both fluconazole and terconazole and it hasn't gone away. i also took monistat 7 day and it got better but didn't go away.)

Accepted Answer

Azole resistance: About 10% of vaginal yeast infections are caused by types of yeast resistant to all the4 "azole" drugs -- which includes all three of hte treatment you mention. Speak with your doctor about other options,  such as micafungin, nystatin, and others.

Question 6

severe itchy labia majora. treated with monistat, flagyl, terazol (terconazole) 7, clobestol. clobestol helped a little but still itching. i'm so scared please help!

Accepted Answer

See a specialist: It might be time to see a specialist as it seems as if you've tried a lot of the common medications.  A great book to help you as well, is the v book by elizabeth stewart.  Can find used on amazon.  It's possible that you have a more complex condition, and also possible that a biopsy would help to rule out lichen sclerosis. Clobetasol is strongest med we have for this. See specialist, good luck.

Question 7

how does monistat work?

Accepted Answer

Monistat: Monistat is an azole antifungal that prevents  the growth of yeast /fungus.

Question 8

will expired monistat work?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: If the package is not disturbed and was not used before, then the potency will probably be good enough to be successfuly at treating the candida that it was designed for.  Try it and if you get better, great ! , but if it does not work well then see your gynecologist.

Question 9

can i take diflycan and monistat?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Diflucan (fluconazole) and Monistat can be used together if this was what was ordered by your physician.

Question 10

can i use monistat that expired on 12/20?

Accepted Answer

: The expiration date of drugs is the last date the product is expected to retain full strength. It would not be expected to turn toxic but using it may not provide the benefit expected. You can try, but with that understanding.
