Question 1

what do you advise if i was wondering if i can use one out of the three monistat 3 once then wait two days later for the second dose and it still works or no?

Accepted Answer

Possible: That medication works best when present continuously in the vaginal for the full three dose cycle.  It may work if used intermittently.

Question 2

what do you suggest if i've been wondering if i can use one out of the three monistat 3 once then wait two days later for the second dose and it still works or no?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal yeast: I do recommend to use it as directed, there are other forms of Monistat 1;7.

Question 3

i used monistat 3 for a yeast infection, i've finished the three days of medicine, now i have some yellow discharge, wondering what that could mean/if that's common?

Accepted Answer

Infection? STD?: Sounds like you didn't have a yeast infection, or yeast plus something else. Vaginal yeast infections usually cause scant white discharge, or none at all; the main symptom is itching and irritation, not discharge. Colored discharge usually indicates other kinds of infections, especially STDs. Assuming you are sexually active and possibly at risk see a doctor soon for exam and testing. Good luck!

Question 4

im using monistat 3 during the day will it still work?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will: Yes it will, use same time daily.

Question 5

can you use monistat 3 twice in one day? it's been 8 hours since i took my last dose.

Accepted Answer

NO: 1/day for 3 days only!

Question 6

i took the monistat 3 yesturday was my last day this morning i urinated and the clumps came out. does that mean it worked or do i need more doses ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you don't have anymore vaginal discharge then you can stop, otherwise, you can use monistat up to 7 days. If still with vaginal discharge then, see a doctor for an exam as it may not be yeast infection. Also, sometimes you need an oral medication for yeast infection.

Question 7

can the itching be worse on day two of using monistat 3?

Accepted Answer

It might: if no improvement after a few days you might consider a different treatment or the need for an evaluation by a gyn

Question 8

i just went to put in my 2nd day of monistat 3 and noticed that my discharge is pink. is that okay?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sometimes monistat can do that ,if your pink color does not go away in 2-3 days you can visit your obgyn for a diflucan pill for yeast infection

Question 9

accidentally used monistat 3 during the day around noon. can i wait until the next night to take the second ovule?

Accepted Answer

Yeast infection : Yes, the timing of this medication is not highly critical. Monistat is typically recommended to use at night because you are horizontal during sleep and the medication will stay in place and not leak out as much. I hope you feel better soon.

Question 10

should i be slightly itchy after day 3 of monistat 3 or do i need to get monistat 7?

Accepted Answer

Discharge?: Usually, Monistat-3 will take care of infection: if you are still itching you may need  a GYN evaluation or a dose of diflucan: please call your GYN for further evaluation
