I have used this product for years and have never had any burning or pain as mentioned in the other reviews. I don't notice it at all. In the summer the yeast infection occurs often and the 3 day dosage seems to clear it up, til the next time. I just wish they would find a permanent cure.

Unfortunatly I get more than my share of yeast infections. I have used Monistat 7 in the past with no complaints. I decided to try the 3 day Monistat to avoid the whole week mess, so I bought this.
OMG!!!!!!!!! The first night I inserted the cream and in about 5 minutes I had some of the worst pain "down there" I have ever had. The BURNING was almost unbearable. After about an hour or so it became tolerable. In the morning, when the cream starts to come out due to gravity, the external burning was unbelievable too. I did not finish the next two days. I did go to my doc and he gave me a Rx for a pill.
P.S. I contacted the makers of Monistat, and they refunded my money. A small concilation.
Like the other reviewers I had experienced burning with this product, but later found out it was due to another type of infection and not what this is actually for.
After not having a yeast infection for several years, I contracted one from the use of an antibiotic for a UTI. I purchased this product since I had used it before, but in the 7-day treatment. I thought the 3 day would be more convenient. On the first night, all went well - I used the product before bed and also used the external cream for the itching I was experiencing. The discomfort didn't go away completely but I was OK with that, since it was only the first night of use. The next day, things seemed fine - I went to work and was not in discomfort other than some slight pelvic pain, but I thought this could also have been due to the UTI for which I was still being treated. That evening, I inserted the second capsule, and noticed there was some blood on the applicator. I thought perhaps this was due to having had the infection, so I wasn't concerned. I went to sleep, and at approximately 3 a.m. I was awakened with such intense burning, itching and pain I didn't know what was happening. I felt the need to urinate so I immediately got up and went to the bathroom, and noticed some blood on the TP after I was through. I knew this wasn't from the UTI since the burning I was experiencing was vaginal and the blood had been there when I inserted the medication earlier. I was in so much pain I had to fill the tub and do what I could to remove whatever cream I was able to remove but I was so swollen it was difficult to achieve. I suffered through the rest of the night, with pelvic pain, burning, and itching. I didn't know where to put myself. I called my OBGYN as soon as the office opened and explained what had happened, and was prescribed Diflucan and an external cream to use. Thank heavens for that because it did take away the pain within a few hours. I have no idea why I had this reaction - perhaps because the 3 day dosage was too strong - but whatever the reason, I will NOT purchase this again, nor would I recommend it.
I was suppose to listen to the reviews this medicine is horrible and it burns and look at the box, its not even made in the US. This medicine made me scream and almost cry, I was trying to be strong. I will never use this again in my life. Shame on the makers of this, next time I'll take a pill.
I'm prone to yeast infections and this product works quickly and efficiently. It's easy to just keep a few boxes on hand and then they're there when I need it. No side effects and it always clears up the problem by the end of the last dosage.

I bought this after reading reviews online that warned it would cause burning. In my case, burning lasted an hour after each dose. Four days after the last dose, I still had irritation so thought the yeast infection was still there and decided to try Monistat 7-day. I used the first dose of 7-day and the residual irritation made it burn so bad I was crying. I called my doctor's office and they prescribed me a flucanozole (Duflucan) pill which I took today, which is supposed to cure yeast infections. So, believe the warnings.
I used this product for the first time and it burned like crazy...I couldn't move for about 15 mins b/c I was in so much pain. On the other days it wasn't as bad but it didn't completely cure my infection.
