“This little tube of gel works really well on sores on the corners of your mouth. It woks like cold sore cream, but doesn't dry the sore so you get a fast healing effect and no cracked sores. I wouldn't be without it.”
“As a fail user of oral steroids, I’m permanently at risk of oral thrush. This seems to be the only solution. Trouble is it’s expensive for the amount provided and it only lasts five doses. The tube should really be double the size. Supply problems abound with this product - it’s sold out in most pharmacies for some reason ♂️”
Hi Tony
Thank you for getting in touch, we love to hear from all of our patients' experiences with us so that we can continue to build and grow our business and the products that we provide.
Daktarin 2% Oral Gel is a sugar-free formula, containing the active ingredient miconazole, used to treat fungal infections of the mouth and throat, most commonly known as oral thrush.
Typically this is highly rated by our patients, scoring 4.8 out of 5 and is a successful remedy for oral thrush and is a very popular product that we provide.
As a result of this, sometimes supply does not quite meet demand and the manufacturer of the treatment sometimes struggles to keep up with its popularity.
This is made by one manufacturer and unfortunately also is only available in the one size that we stock. We do always try to keep our prices as competitive as possible to help ensure you are able to purchase treatment when required.
Whilst it is always helpful to have good oral hygiene to minimise the risk of oral thrush returning, there is also a different treatment available that you may wish to try called Nystatin; https://www.theindependentpharmacy.co.uk/oral-thrush/nystan?fbs=0
Nystan Oral Suspension is an easy-to-use, fast-acting anti-fungal medicine used to clear up symptoms of oral thrush leaving your mouth feeling soothed and comfortable. It contains prescription-strength antifungal nystatin.
