Q: After finishing 2 rounds of antibiotics for a uti, I developed a yeast infection. I used the Monistat 1 day almost 3 days ago. I did it in the middle of the afternoon and was pretty active the rest of the day. Did not realize I should have laid down and given it time to work. I have had some relief but it's not gone, I feel like alot of it leaked out and I'm still feeling some leakage. Did I not give it a chance to work and what should I do now? I'm worried because I am scheduled to start another round of antibiotics as part of a preop for upcoming unrelated surgery in 5 days. Thank you

A: When using Monistat® as instructed, your symptoms should improve in 3 days and you should be completely cured in 7 days. On average, most women should experience some improvement within three days and complete relief within seven days. This is the same, whether you use a 1- dose product, 3-day product or a 7-day product. We recommend that you contact your doctor if your symptoms do not improve in 3 days or if you still have symptoms after 7 days.
