    Question

    Can I use Monistat while I'm on my period?

    Answer

    Yes, you can use Monistat on your period. However, it might not be quite as effective, because it may get flushed out by the bleeding, or the vaginal changes may persist during your period. To be most effective -- wait until your period is done to complete treatment. You should also try using the seven-day formula, not the one-day formula, if you are going to use it on your period.
