Well I woke up this morning to a dreadful itching and soreness down below – you know what I mean, I’m sure.

That always happens when you have to take antibiotics – they kill off all the good bacteria as well as the bad bacteria, leaving the fungus infection, which is what thrush is, to run riot round your nether regions. It’s nothing to do with hygiene either – the thrush is always there even in the cleanest of women, but your own bacteria normally keep it in check. Until that is you kill them all off while treating something else!

Well fortunately, I was prepared, as I bought myself some Canesten while I was at the chemists’s getting the antibiotics. You can buy it without prescription now, and I always take the Canesten Duo cure, where you get cream to soothe the itching, and a single capsule to kill off the thrush.

Canesten duo stops thrush in its tracks

There are no nasty side effects and the thrush starts to vanish very quickly. So if you’ll take my advice,  you’ll order a Canesten duo now and have it in stock ready for next time the dreaded vaginal thrush strikes. There’s nothing worse than waking up with thrush and finding you can’t get to the shops.
