Here's my history -- I was diagnosed with yeast infection last year by my obgyn of which she prescribed a one day oral medicine. It took a few days for it to work, but I don't recall having any side effect...
I wish I had read the comments before purchasing this. What started out as a slight itch turned into a monster after using this product. I used this at about 10pm right before I went to bed.

The burning and swelling when using this product was worse than the birth of my 3 children. I'm sitting on an icepack. Thanks Monistat.

Worst thing I have ever done to try and cure a yeast infection! I wish I had never used it! Severe itching about an hour after inserting the monistat and more burning and itching the next day! Made me feel worse than I had felt before!! NEVER will I use this again!

I wish I had read everyone's comments before using! Haven't had a yeast infection in years so I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was 1 dose treatment. I had temporary relief then the onset of burning around the vulva. Going back to the 3 day dosage. Monistat, take note.

Infection seemed worst after use. A waste of money. Just bought the 3 day instead which had worked in the past for me.

Quick relief, but I seem to have 2 of the "infrequent" side effects. Rather those than the yeast infection, though.
