Experiences with

Daktarin

I heard Daktarin oral gel but it’s sold out everywhere and the pharmacy said they even finding it hard to get it in for people who have it prescribed to them. It’s getting to the point I wake up the corner of my lips are so dry and white. As soon as I yawn it all opens up and bleeds.

It faded after a few days with the help of antifungal cream (daktarin). It has left a shiny mark is this normal for balantitis? Looking at pictures online I’m almost positive it isn’t herpes or anything else.

I am testing both, one with a cream called Cetaphil, for the face and Daktarin for the genitals itch.I have now gained a violent reaction to coconut and cow's milk. Both engender violent diarrhoea. My specialist sees the first two as necessary side effects.

I’ve been asked if Daktarin for oral thrush is safe to use if you take Bisoprolol and have heart problems.

Before that both our local very good pharmacist and the GP had been conceerned how frequently I used oral Daktarin to manage thrush, as it is not intended for long term use. Thus the swap was on the basis of my health. 2.

I went to the pharmacy and have been given daktarin gel, which I’ve now been using for 5 days. I’ve not noticed any difference at all. I’ve also bought a tongue brush and scraper but again no difference yet.

I have been told the penicillin probably made it worse and now am using a Daktarin miconzale gel - it is very difficult to apply as the thrush is at the far back of my throat and neck. Can anyone confirm this is thrush?

I got daktarin, it cleared up, all was well and good. Then, in June, like a couple months later, it came back in the same place, up the back of my throat, and I went back to get my daktarin and was told I might have to see my GP about it.

I’ve also tried Daktarin as someone kindly recommended on here but that’s just too difficult to put on the very back of my tongue without gagging. Any other suggestions please? Finally, going to send me for a breathing test (?) and another CT scan.

I have used daktarin which was rubbish. I am now on fluconazole 50mg capsules 7 day course and a I thought I was getting better up until the 6th day! Then I all flared up again. Not sure now if it’s a yeast infection or bacterial and doctors have seen me once and done no tests!

Is it safe taking Daktarin or shall I wait until Thursday when I see the liver nurse? The thrush is on the side of my tongue & is quite sore

My doctor prescribed Daktarin, but the info in the packet said not to take it if you are on blood thinners, which I am, so that is a no go!

I had daktarin, then nystatin, then itraconazole (made my teeth feel very strange). Three months on it had not gone. Then my cousin recommended capryllic acid, a component from coconut oil in tablet form.

I use Daktarin oral gel which makes it more bearable. If I stop the Daktarin gel for even a day then it becomes much worse. Ive also had short courses of fluconazole...which work great but within a week the thrush is right back again. It never completely clears up.

I got some Daktarin gel from the pharmacy but it stings where the discomfort is at its worst. Is this a good sign? I’m not expecting an immediate response as I’ve only used the gel a few times. I’m also rinsing with bicarbonate as an extra treatment. If anyone can advise that would be great.

I deal with it quickly and simply by using oral Daktarin for a few days each time and that deals with it. But now I am told it is not a good idea, that as I am prone I should instead be on a medication with which I can use a spacer. (Eat your heart out BBC!)

Recently, I was prescribed Gyno-Daktarin vaginal cream (to be inserted into the vagina with applicators) to be taken every night for 7-10 days in the hope it would clear up thrush symptoms after canesten treatments having no effect.

My GP has now prescribed a 2 week course of Daktarin, I’m half way through that but there isn’t any improvement. Has anyone EVER got rid of oral thrush and if so how did you manage it?

Evening All, Just a quickie, I recently treated an outbreak of athlete's foot with some Daktarin ointment which I bought over the counter. I did read the instructions found inside the box and learnt that cream as its an anti fungal can upset your INR.
