I'm a little surprised at the harsh reviews. I believe the reviews but I wonder if the extreme onset burning after applying Vagistat 1 had anything to do with how advanced the yeast infection was. Obviously the more irritated ( itching/ burning) the vagina is, the more sensitive the lining and the skin is going to be. I knew by the 2nd day I had a yeast infection. I did not wait to see if it would...

Upon application I initially felt burning and tingling (which I expected based on the packaging, though it seemed pretty sever). By morning, my entire vaginal area was extremely swollen and painful, beyond anything I have ever imagined. Two days later and lots of showers, I'm still suffering. I can barely walk or sit and will never use this product again. Perhaps it’s an allergy, but I have taken ...

It eased the sypmptoms, but really didn't solve the problem.

How is this poison on the market? Had horrible burning when I used it last night, and it hasn't stopped. The infection was far less annoying than this. 24 hours later and it burns, itches, throbs, and feels absurdly swollen. I wish I'd looked here first and would have saved myself this misery.

This product provided me with instant relief. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. The irritation was gone in minutes, providing a sense of well being. The next day I felt better than I had in days. It may not work for everyone, but it does work, so don't discard the idea before trying.

4 hours after taking this product i woke up with extreme painful swelling! I called my drs office and they were VERY familiar with seeing this type of reaction. I was advised never to use it again!

I wish there was some way to warn everyone about this damn thing. I've been to the doctor so much lately, I didn't want to go for what I was pretty sure was a yeast infection, since it was similar to the last one I had. "Oh," I thought, "I can manage on my own!" HELL NO. I experienced INTENSE itching almost immediately, and then woke up in the middle of the night in SO MUCH PAIN. I'm limping around today, and my labia look like miniature testicles. I don't know what to do and amy trying to get an appointment with the doctor to fix this damn mess I've made... A curse on this product! Read More Read Less

So wish I had read these reviews before taking it.. I now know never to take something w/out researching it. Like most people on here I awoke 4 hours after taking the medication with INTENSE itching, pain, and swelling. And I only took about a sixth of the actual dose. DO NOT TAKE THIS PRODUCT.

OMG! Extreme burning and swelling hours after taking this. I woke up in the middle of the night in terrible pain. By morning I was in the bathroom trying to scoop the product out with a Qtip. Then I took a warm shower to get it of. The product is sticky like vaseline. Now some parts of my outer vaginal area are bleeding. I have applied vaseline to the areas hoping to avoid scarring. I am about to take some Zyrtec and advil now. This never happened to me when I use Monistat. Horrible product!! DO NOT USE!!!Read More Read Less

I used this product once....years ago when it first came on the market b/c it was one of the few one day treatments....and just out of curiosity i decided to check out the reviews to see if my experience was similar to others who used the product. Apparently they have not changed the formula since i used it....the same excruciating pain and awful swelling and itching....something that one does not forget...Not sure how a product with such overwhelmingly negative outcomes can remain on the market....Read More Read Less

Actually my experience was good. I'm not going to lie, I came across this website because when I first applied it yes I felt burning, tingling and intense itching so it made me panic BUT within a few hours my yeast infection was gone. ALSO there is a difference I notice between myself and alot of other women who took it. I did NOT apply it at bedtime. I actually applied it in the morning so I was up and about walking throughout the day. That may have something to do with it. Maybe its not good to use it and go to sleep. I put on a pad and went about my day. Another thing I did was used anti itch cream. That helped with the itching. Soooo I wouldn't say it's horrible. I'm only writing this because someone may be like I was earlier in a pinic thinking they are going to experience it get worse. My advice is don't take it and go to sleep. Take it in the morning. I took it at 7:30am and by almost 4 felt soooo much better. Good luck ladies.Read More Read Less

I took this last night and like most other reviewers, I now find that the area is extremely swollen. I am not experiencing the pain or burning, however I think it is more itchy than before I took the medication. I only bought it because ShopRite stopped selling the Monistat 1 day which has worked for me in the past. I would never buy this again!

This is a wretched and sadistic product. I feel like I am being tortured slowly. This is the most unpleasant burning, itching, swelling, etc. That I have endured

I used this product last night after trying numerous home remedies that hadn't worked. And I must say that I had none of the swelling that most people are reporting. Upon the intial insertion, I will admit that there was a burning sensation but it wasn't unbareable and only lasted for 10-15 minutes which I expected cause any medicine that kills fungus in your vagina normally causes some brief discomfort. I woke up this morning and my vagina feels like its back to normal. So I would reccommend and re-use this product.Read More Read Less

This is by far the worst medication on the market. With all the pain, burning, itching, and swelling, there should be something someone could do to get this product off the market. Buyer beware!!!!!

Like previous reviewers I wish I knew about the terrible, and long lasting pain, swelling and itching caused by using this product. I will never try over the counter treatment again! I'll call my doctor first. It should be removed from sale.

OMG! If I only knew my vagina would get so swollen, I would have never used this product. I'v had a yeast infection before, but never self-treated. Boy did I make a big mistake. I used the one day treatment and the next day I could barely walk without feeling the discomfort of my swollen vagina. I really hope I get some relief soon. BEWARE of this product.At this point, I'm not even concerned about the yi..i just want the swelling to go away.

If only I read the reviews... Worst pain I have ever experienced, I will take a yeast infection over this burning, swelling and itching any day. Talked to my Gynecologist and she recommended using hydrocortisone cream on the outer areas to help with the burning and itching. Please warn against this product!
