Saw this deal a couple of weeks ago on HUKD and thought you might want to see it.

It is on a website called "Pharmacy First".

Each Capsule is 18p with a limit of 3. There is a £2.99 postage fee, but it still work out that you get 3 capsules for less than half the price of a prescription for 1!

Seen a couple of blocked links to this site so might be best googling them...

    This is thrush treatment isn't it?
    Not a lot of people will know by 'Fluconazole', it might be worth adding it to the title/OP.

    Might have been better to be more careful the way you've listed it as for the obvious reason it did/does look like Spam
  • Thanks for the heads up Rich, how do you mean?

    you dont need to buy this stuff. natrual yoghurt is just as effictive and cheaper.

    It is not effective for internal thrush - whilst it may soothe the symptoms, it does not cure the problem.

    I have used Pharmacy First before with no problems.

    I'm also a bit concerned about being able to buy 3 at a time. If you need it that often you should really be seeing a doctor...

    Its possible to infect your partner though - so that is 2 gone already! I've bought these quite recently from Pharmacy first and have been very pleased. You don't HAVE to buy 3!

    I think the information leaflet with it says if you have it repeatedly you should see your doctor (it can be symptomatic of more serious conditions). However, it is very handy to have in the house - it's not something that you want to live with until you can got a docs appt! ;)
