Is Monistat 3 Safe For Yeast Infection ?

Have taken Monistat 3 Cream for the last two nights and the first night the application burned quite a bit. Last night it was milder but I have been feeling very tired, stomach bloating. I have to finish with the last one tonight. Are these side effects normal and how long does it take for the yeast infection to go away? Also, I saw that the dosage for the cream on the outside is for twice a day, up to seven days. Does that mean that I could still experience some iching and redness on the outer area? This yeast infection came from use of an antibiotic for a couple weeks and just feeling miserable.

Hello
Tiredness , stomach bloating are not due to miconazole ( monistat-3 ) cream.
Usually this drug don't causes such type of symptoms .
As you mentioned that still there is redness and itching even after 3 days use.
In my opinion you should use it for 7-10 days.
Beside you can use anti fungus tablets also as fluconazole or ketoconazole for the best result.
Still no relief then consult a gynecologist and get his opinion as physical examination is important in such type of cases.
Good luck.
