i seemed to have thrush , fairly mild but wanted to get rid.
took the tablet yesterday and today the discharge and itchiness is worse!

anyone experienced the same ?

actually im not convinced that i dont have candida (as in more than just vaginal thrush) as i have had unexplained symptoms for a long time but my g.p totally poo pooed it.

I've taken the oral - but had to use the cream as well for a few days. It does work, but not immediately. I've also found that the pessary was more effective quicker.

I does take a few days so that's probably why it's still feeling bad. I usually use a cream that's designed to stop itching as well. Aqueos cream (not sure of spelling) is very good. You can get it in Boots and it's cheap.

Unfortunatly I have much expereince of this. According to my GP, some people are just covered in the fungus that causes it.
