If the medication is causing it then don't take the tablet unless you've finished the medication or it will just recurr.

Speak to your pharmacist about the higher strength cream and also about pessaries (can be used more frequently that the one off tablet). If you're on the medication for a while speak to your doctor about the one tablet twice a day for a week instead of the one off tablet.

Thrush infection is present in all of us (it is one cause of nappy rash in babies), but is normally kept in check by other bacteria and micro organisms in the body.

When a person is prescribed antibiotics, corticosteroids or even some birth control pills this balance is disturbed leading to a thrush infection.

For best results it is advisable to leave treatment until after the course of antibiotics or corticosteroids has finished, but using the cream will relieve the symptoms.

Once the course of other medication has finished treat the thrush with a pessary and cream

A side effect of taking antibiotics is the problem of getting thrush.

I have had a chest onfection recently that required several courses of anotibiotics before it went and ended up getting thrush, i used the canstan pack that has an appilcator pre loaded with cream plus a small tube of cream to use aswell, it soon got rid of the thrush

Good luck xx

Treat the thrush after the meds but get the Active Balance gel as well. Use this for a week and it will get you back to normal. Then you can use it once a week to keep good balance.

Or rePHfresh. Boots sell them both.

I'm a sufferer and now have to use fem fresh products, canestan now do a 12 hour wash to help and u can buy the tablet/cream and pessary over the counter, it's unlikely it will counter act with ur current medication as its anti fungal, good luck and hope you get better soon

Femfresh can aggravate thrush in many women.

You shouldn't use soap down there, just water. If you feel the need to use more get some aqueous cream from your local chemists and use that.

This happens to me whenever I take antibiotics. The most effective treatment I've found is the canesten duo, tablet and cream. Natural yogurt is good for soothing but thats all.

The tablet/cream duo is often significantly cheaper if bought from a licensed pharmacy online, as with hay fever meds etc.

As someone pointed out, use an additives free wash regime.

Put a generous application of marmalade on your fudgina.

It's probably best to use a slice of bread to apply it.

My wife got it with antibiotics for tonsillitis. When she got a second bout she mentioned to the doc about getting thrush last time and she was given a pill to take as a one off and she didn't get thrush that time. She's slso eaten lots of probiotic yoghurt.
