Q: I took monistat 1 the one day treatment and it says to abstain from intercourse until the treatment is over but doesn't say how long that is. How long should I wait to have intercourse after I have taken the one day treatment?

A: We recommend that you avoid vaginal intercourse to allow the vagina to heal. This product may damage condoms and diaphragms and may cause them to fail. Therefore, you should wait three days after treatment to resume using condoms or your diaphragm. The word “treatment” in this instance refers to when you finished taking your last dose of the product.
