Monistat... dare we start this again

[tiny_teesha]

I just opened it and its a spray. contains benzoic acid, butylated hydroxyanisole and micanizole nitrate (20mg/ml) -which i assumed is 2%?
I'm going to have to go buy the lotion now aren't i?

[DecafJane]

Oh no! The spray is actually really good for tinea, but not so great for the hair.

[tiny_teesha]

Hi Tiny Teesha,
I saw this warning when I did a google search for Daktarin. I was actually looking for the other ingredients in the creams as Daktarin comes in a green and white box for, shall we say, initmate problems, as well as a yellow one for athletes foot. Both sets of ingredients are identical......I suppose its just different marketing by the company. Anyhow, the online chemist clearly posted a warning against using Daktarin on the hair. Im not sure what to do now. Oh, the things we do for our hair.........haha

[tiny_teesha]

so should we be all useing the brand monistat, not sure if it is avaliable in Australia. DecafJane is useing it. DecafJane are you noticeing bad side effects yet?

What I did was I bought the pre-filled applicators of Monistat 4%

I don't know if you tried to see the difference in the 2% and 4%, but if you did, do you think the 4% works better?

[DecafJane]

No. I have only used it three times.

[suicides_eve]

i believe with the 4% you see the same amount of growth(with the 2%) just quicker time frame

it's almost time to measure i can't wait!

i know several long term users that have had success using the darkin (sadly in the old bored) it is suppose to be the equal to monistat and neopspirin AF(athleths foot) over here in the states. i don't recall any serious side effects from others then some heavy shedding the being

Yes, I think it worked faster than the 2%((I started with 2% at first)). The headaches unfortunately were a little more painful, but yes...I do find it is better than the 2%.
