Questions, answered plainly
Do I need a prescription?
Nystatin is a pharmacy-supplied prescription medicine — our pharmacist provides it after a short consultation. Daktarin oral gel is available to buy over the counter.
What causes oral thrush?
Often inhaled steroids (asthma pumps), dentures, antibiotics or a dry mouth. We'll ask about these so we can help prevent it coming back.
