Frequently asked questions

What does Monistat 7 treat?

Monistat 7 (Miconazole Nitrate) may be used to treat aspergillosis, cutaneous candidiasis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, tinea pedis, tinea versicolor, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.

How does Monistat 7 work?

Monistat 7 is a azole antifungal. Azole antifungals block a fungal enzyme (lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase) that the fungus needs to make ergosterol, a key building block of its cell membrane. Without enough ergosterol the membrane becomes leaky and unstable, which stops the fungus from growing and can cause it to break apart and die.
