Question 1

can i use nystatin cream and monistat 3 day suppositories at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yeast treatment: Probably both can safely be used at the same time, but why? There&#x27;s rarely a need to treat vaginal yeast infection with more than one medication. Ask the doctor treating you. Or if you&#x27;re treating an assumed infection yourself, use one or the other, not both. Even better, see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendation.

Question 2

do people use monistat as a suppository and take acidophilus orally at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The two will not interfere with each other, but there are not good data to prove that acidophilus taken orally will help a vaginal yeast infection.  If you are already taking acidophilus for other reasons, then no problem.

Question 3

i missed a dose of monistat 3 leaving me left with two suppositories. do i resume taking them at bedtime?

Accepted Answer

Yes: However, your yeast infection may or may not be completely treated necessitating purchasing another round of Monistat 3 or you could resume "itching to see a GYN MD" for an alternative more effective yeast Rx.

Question 4

will monistat 1 (tioconazole) suppository still work if it's not put far enough in?

Accepted Answer

Usually: As long as the yeast infection is not severe than the product should disperse on it's own enough to resolve the issue.Usually treatment takes more than one insertion so be more vigilant with the next insertion.

Question 5

is it safe to use ph-d boric acid suppository and monistat 1 day together?

Accepted Answer

: No, you should only use boric acid suppository when you have resistant vaginal candidiasis.

Question 6

which date should i trust : the one on my monistat 7 box (1 month expired) or the date on the vaginal suppositories (good till january 2018) ?

Accepted Answer

Dates to trust: I assume the dates are correct. Not sure what you mean by trust? I do not know what the regulations are in CA on labeling meds. Most are good for sometime even years after the expiration dates.

But to be sure get new ones.

Question 7

can i have intercourse with my husband while using monistat 3 suppositories? with or without a condom?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy plans: The medication will not harm him. Condoms should be used if you are trying to avoid pregnancy and not using another form of birth control.

Question 8

took monistat 1 suppository mon (11/9), symptoms seemed to have subsided for couple days. however still have some itching & burning. curious if two days into treatment if most of the medicine came out & didnt fully treat. should i take another dose?

Accepted Answer

Itching to see MD: Since itching is persisting post Monistat Rx., it would be a good idea to make sure it is a yeast infection that you are treating by seeing a GYN MD under these circumstances.  Sometimes it is not a yeast infection and the Monistat will be ineffective. The GYN MD can assess if that is the "correct diagnosis" and offer a more effective remedy if it is.

Question 9

can i drink alcohol while using monistat 3-day suppositories?

Accepted Answer

Topical Medicine: Yes. Of course. Topical medication would not be changed or interfered with by using alcohol.

Question 10

i am on minocycline for acne, i have a yeast infection. i am treating with monistat suppositories, will the infection go away if i keep taking mino?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics & Yeast: There are several treatment options for yeast infections, such as anti-fungal ointments, creams and suppositories. However, your doctor can give you a prescription for a medication called diflucan, (fluconazole) which can safely and quickly clear up your yeast infection. One pill a week while on an antibiotic is usually effective at controlling yeast infections.
