Canesten pill for nipple thrush

2 replies

Dd2 has oral thrush and my nipples hurt. HV prescribed dactarin (sp) to put on me and told me to go buy a tablet to take but gps won't prescribe.

Haven't got the tablet as was a bit skeptical about taking something not advised as it does go through to bm.

But things aren't improving and noone will give me nastatin(sp) drops for baby which I think she needs.

Anyone taken or been advised to take the tablet or have any other thrush advice?

How old is your DD2?

There's some info here on thrush medication. BFN also have a brilliant helpline where you can ask about medication in breastmilk if you want to talk it over in detail.
