If the infection does not clear up after you have finished one course of therapy, or if it appears to get worse, see your doctor. You may have another type of infection.

An overdose of Monistat 3 is unlikely. If you do suspect that a much larger than normal dose has been used or that Monistat 3 has been ingested, contact an emergency room or a poison control center.
