    Thanks for the heads up Rich, how do you mean?

    Newbie alert + online pharmacy = alarm bells

    I was probably just being fussy but on initial look it's just how it appeared to me, not meaning to cast doubt or be rude :)
    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! ;)

    Our doctors if you phone up and explain will just do the script without an appt, saves them time seeing people but only on things like this

    No problem! Just thought it was a good deal! I kinda see what you mean now, but i was hardly trying to sell cheap viagra! lol

    Point taken though.

    But a prescription is still twice as much as this for a third of the number of capsules!

    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!

    Yeah fair points. You can just buy it from a high street pharmacy as well though, albeit about £10 for one.

    It is worth noting that if you ask for the generic version in a chemist you should be able to get it for a few pounds - they will have stock in the pharmacy area.

    The clotrimazole cream is only 72p so you might want to stick some of that in your basket as well

    If you are prone to thrush, you might want to check out the Salcura topida spray, it helps maintain the pH level and some other helpful things which can help so you are less likely to get thrush.

    Brilliant, thanks for this! I usually have a supply of cream as I am susceptible to thrush and other fungal infections, but I've ran out.
