Instead, the best way to dispose of your medication is through a medicine take-back program. However, you should not flush this medication down the toilet. Unneeded medications should be disposed of in special ways to ensure that pets, children, and other people cannot consume them.

To protect young children from poisoning, always lock safety caps and immediately place the medication in a safe location – one that is up and away and out of their sight and reach. It is important to keep all medication out of sight and reach of children as many containers (such as weekly pill minders and those for eye drops, creams, patches, and inhalers) are not child-resistant and young children can open them easily. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. If you are treating jock itch with the powder, do not apply the powder to any open wounds. Also, be sure to wear well-fitting shoes that allow for air circulation, and change shoes and socks at least once a day. If you are treating athlete's foot, pay special attention to the spaces between the toes when applying miconazole.

Miconazole spray, spray powder, and tincture may catch fire. Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve during this time or if your symptoms get worse at any time during your treatment. If you are using miconazole to treat athlete's foot or ringworm, your symptoms should improve over 4 weeks of treatment. If you are using miconazole to treat jock itch, your symptoms should improve over 2 weeks of treatment. Miconazole does not work on the scalp or nails. Do not let miconazole get into your eyes or mouth, and do not swallow the medication. Topical miconazole is only for use on the skin.

Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than directed on the package or as directed by your doctor. Follow the directions on the package label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. It is usually applied twice a day (morning and night). Topical miconazole comes as a spray, spray powder, cream, powder, and tincture to apply to the skin.
