Monistat 7 is a medication originally intended to deal with vaginal yeast infection. Yet, it has been discovered to be a good treatment for hemorrhoids as well. Also known as Miconazole, this treatment method minimizes burning, discharge, itchiness and soreness in the affected area that may arise along with the illness. Being an azole antifungal, it functions by putting a halt to the development of the organisms that bring about the infection.
This product is available in two varieties: a topical cream or an oral tablet. To those thinking of using this for the first time, never think twice about consulting a medical professional about it. Although Monistat 7 is designed for self treatment, it is still best to seek professional advice first. The illness they have may not be the one this product is made for. Hence, they may need a different type of treatment that is intended for their specific condition.
The patients who also experience chills, fever, flu, and abdominal ache must not use Monistat 7. Do not hesitate to make a call to the doctor because they may be indications of a more critical condition.
