Indications 

Monistat 3 Dual-Pak Combination Pack is a medication used to treat vaginal yeast infections. It contains miconazole nitrate, an antifungal agent that works by stopping the growth of yeast. The combination pack typically includes a vaginal cream and suppositories that are inserted into the vagina. 

The pack typically includes three vaginal suppository inserts, which contain the antifungal medication miconazole nitrate. These inserts are inserted into the vagina to treat the yeast infection. In addition to the suppository inserts, the pack also includes an external cream called MONISTAT Derm. This cream is applied to the external genital area (vulva) to provide relief from itching and irritation.
