Is Regular Usage Of Monistat Cream On The Hands Harmful?

I used a sample of monastat on my hands because I thought it was a hand cream. I know monastat makes vaginal creams, but I thought they had expanded to a cream for the body/hands. It is amazing on the hands. My question is, being an antifungal cream, will it be harmful for me to use on my hands on a regular basis?
