Q: I just used the 1 day ovule treatment last night, and I am on my period, when can I use tampons again?

Asked by: tobey

A: Use Monistat® for the recommended treatment period (1 day, 3 days, or 7 days according to the product instructions), even during your period. Do not skip any days. Do not use tampons during the day or at night while you are using an over-the-counter vaginal antifungal as tampons can absorb the medication. Therefore, you should wait three days after treatment to resume using tampons. The word “treatment” in this instance refers to when you finished taking your last dose of the product.
