I get thrush when I use any anti-biotic for something else, my GP prescribes the one doze tablet when prescribing the anti-biotics. Push it well up like you would a tampon or it will come out. Like Sago says it is magic.

The pessary will come with an instruction leaflet which will tell you what you need to know. It’s best to insert it as far as you can comfortably do so. I’ve used them many times over the years with excellent results. Also best to use it at night. You’ll be fine.

I have used a tablet bought from an online pharmacy, it’s a single dose and works like magic.
