Comments

Can anyone tell me if the capsuals are any good for men ? Whenever my OH takes antibiotics she gets thrush and hence 99% of the time passes it on to me. I can not describe the pain of a cracked foreskin! I have it now and I'm smothering "it" in Canestan but would like a more effective solution if their is one?!I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

Yes, my OH takes it at the same time as I do, and its very effective. Plus he uses the cream to alleviate the symptoms. Don't worry about describing it, TMI

I wasn't attempting to debate the cost merely the time factor AND if you have a "problem" like this do you want to wait for delivery if you don't have any to hand there an then. Not to mention if you are entitled to free prescriptions such as:
Receiving Working Tax credits
Low income exemption
Pregnant and for 12 months afterwards
Sometimes it just doesn't come down to cost though and there's nothing to stop you asking your GP for the generic version on a private script if that's going to be cheaper (it often is)
I'm not belittling your deal or post i'm just saying that if you're in a hurry sometimes you can get a script from your GP without seeing anyone which is a lot quicker than the postman :rotfl:0 -

I see what you mean. BTW mine that I oredered yesterday have just arrived this morning with Royal mail! even quicker than my previous order!0 -
Not from our GP you couldn't! And if you're short on money then forking out for 2 tablets plus cream at a chemist is very expensive!0
