What the Drug Facts label covers
We read the Monistat 3 (miconazole nitrate 4% cream) label on DailyMed. It treats vaginal yeast infections and does not mention alcohol anywhere. We found no official source that gives a rule on drinking while using it. Other Monistat products have separate labels, which we did not all check.
Warnings the label does give
- Do not use it if you have never had a yeast infection diagnosed by a doctor.
- Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take the blood thinner warfarin, because bleeding or bruising may occur.
- Do not use tampons, douches or spermicides while using it.
- Condoms and diaphragms may be damaged and fail to prevent pregnancy or STDs.
When to stop and ask a doctor
The label says to stop and ask a doctor if symptoms do not get better after 3 days, last more than 7 days, or come with a rash, hives, abdominal pain, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting or foul-smelling discharge.
A note on drinking
An absence of a warning is not a guarantee for every person. If you take other medicines, see our guides or ask your pharmacist. This is general information, not medical advice.
