MedDataToolMiconazole 3 is a medication used to treat vaginal yeast infections. It works by stopping the growth of the yeast that causes the infection. For adults and children aged 12 and over, it is taken by inserting one applicatorful into the vagina at bedtime for three consecutive nights. It's important not to use this medication if you have never had a yeast infection diagnosed by a doctor, and if you are taking the blood thinner warfarin, you should consult a doctor or pharmacist before use, as it may cause bleeding or bruising.
