Medically reviewed by Sally Chao, MD. Last updated on April 16, 2021. Having vaginal sex while you are using Monistat is not recommended. Monistat is the brand name of the antifungal drug miconazole, which is commonly used to treat vaginal yeast infections. Other types of sexual activity do not interfere with the use of Monistat.
Monistat cream is available in preparation strengths of 2% or 4%, and the suppositories are available in strengths of 100 mg, 200 mg or 1,200 mg. Both types come with an applicator to insert the medicine into your vagina, usually once a day at bedtime. (Using the medicine at night can be more effective because it stays in place while you sleep.)
Length of treatment with Monistat varies between 1 and 7 days, depending on which type (cream or suppository) and strength you’re using. The lower strengths need to be used for a longer period of time.
