MONISTAT® should only be used for the treatment of some vaginal yeast infections (Candidiasis). Certain MONISTAT® products also offer a tube of external cream to soothe and relieve vaginal itching and irritation associated with yeast infections.

If in the past, your doctor has told you your symptoms (vaginal itching, burning or discharge) were due to a vaginal yeast infection, then MONISTAT® should work for you. However, if you have never had these symptoms or been diagnosed with a vaginal yeast infection before, see your doctor before using any MONISTAT® product. Do not use MONISTAT® for external vaginal (vulvar) itching due to causes other than a yeast infection.

Before using a MONISTAT® product, make sure to read the safety information provided below, or in your product insert.
