Hiya, just wondering if any of you have come across same situation as I'm at at the moment? I'm 29 weeks pregnant and have been struggling with thrush for past 3 weeks. Have been told by my GP that he is unable to prescribe the canisten duo as it should be purchased from my own money as it's over counter meds and they are no longer being prescribed by GPS. I have been buying it for last 3 weeks but not cleared up and I am due to buy another one but funds just would not allow it at the moment as not been able to work as much and had to cut down on hours due to the pregnancy.
Now if I am unable to afford the treatment £15-£16 per week, I should be left untreated? Seems little wrong in my eyes.
Sure I will manage to come up with the money for it somehow but what would a woman with no such option do?! Feeling very upset , as we have maternity certificate given to us to ensure that we don't have to worry about medical side of expenses :(
