What is Oral Thrush?
Oral thrush is a yeast infection in the mouth and throat caused by Candida. Oral thrush often occurs in babies and adults who wear dentures.
Antibiotics, asthma inhalers, or chemotherapy can also increase the risk of getting oral thrush.
Some things you can do to prevent the infection include:
- Rinsing your mouth after taking medicine or eating
- Visiting your dentist for regular check-ups
- Brushing your teeth twice a day
Oral thrush is typically treated with antifungal medicine, such as Daktarin Oral Gel, which is available in smaller doses over-the-counter or in larger doses on prescription.
What is Daktarin Oral Gel 80g?
Darkatrin Oral Gel is an effective antifungal medicine to treat oral thrush. It contains the active ingredients Miconazole, which kills fungi and yeast by causing holes to appear in their cell membranes. This destroys the fungal cells and helps clear up the infection.

After refusal of doctors appointment same old same old ring back etc.
I was invited at 5.25 to see doctor I drove over immediately.
Everything fully explained and checked over I was leaving by 6pm with penicillin for strep throat. Had I followed my doctors receptionist I would probably have suffered longer and increased the chances of a worse infection.I
Great efficient service.
