Fungus in the vagina is almost always caused by a change in the vagina's acid balance, which leads to an increase in fungus growth. Fungus is often seen after taking antibiotics. There is not always an obvious reason why a woman has a thrush infection. Many women recognise the symptoms themselves and obtain treatment from the chemist. If you're uncertain, you should see your doctor. What are the symptoms? Symptoms are itching in the crotch area and vagina, but increased discharge is not necessarily present. Your risk of developing fungal infections increases if you: have diabetes. are pregnant. have a defective immune system. How many do I need to take? Take by mouth with a drink of water any time of day, with or without food. You should notice an improvement in a day or two and be clear within a week. Please consult your doctor if you have had more than two infections of thrush in the last six months.

We keep our overheads to a minimum, ensure the margins added are fair and work on larger sale volumes than a local chemist. All these measures provide major cost saving benefits to the consumer. Our prices on this medication are based on the non branded version of Diflucan and Canesten Oral. Diflucan and Canesten's active ingredient is 150mg Fluconazole which actually provides the desired effects. 2. Does your medication give me the same effect as the branded version? Absolutely. When a pharmaceutical company develops a drug it is given unique rights to sell it for a number of years. Once that ends any company can make it providing they meet the regulations. Therefore, over the counter drugs have identical medical properties regardless of brand, packaging and advertising. The key is the active' ingredient - the chemical that actually treats the symptom. Protections and quality control apply equally to all branded and non branded products. The non branded product must meet the same quality standards as the branded version. Packaging may vary, but the items are identical and the results will be the same. Dr. Chris Steele GP, the resident Doctor on ITV1's This Morning agrees: The key is the active ingredient. Look on the brand you know, note the active ingredient and then check it's the same one at the same dose as the generic brand."
