A member asked:

Does monistat 1 (tioconazole) work when you are on your period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Less effective: When you are on your period the Monistat has less chance to be absorbed, and will be less effective. An oral prescription for an anti-fungal medication will likely be more effective for vaginal yeast infection in this circumstance.
