Thrush Treatment

The best treatment for thrush depends on the type and location of the infection. For vaginal thrush, treatment for women typically includes a thrush tablet (such as fluconazole) taken orally, a thrush cream applied externally, or an intravaginal pessary. For oral thrush, treatment usually involves oral thrush tablets or an antifungal gel. Your SwiftDoctor prescriber will recommend the most appropriate thrush medication for your symptoms.

Thrush cream is applied directly to the affected area to relieve itching and soreness, and is particularly useful for external symptoms. Thrush tablets are taken orally and treat the infection from within.
The two are often used together for more effective relief. Your prescriber will advise on the right combination based on your individual presentation.

Oral thrush treatment usually involves antifungal oral thrush tablets such as fluconazole, or a topical antifungal gel or
mouthwash applied directly to the mouth. Mouth oral thrush treatment is most effective when started early. If symptoms persist or recur frequently, a prescriber may recommend a longer course of treatment.

Vaginal thrush treatment for women commonly involves a combination of a thrush tablet and thrush cream to address both internal and external symptoms. Thrush treatment for men typically focuses on antifungal cream applied to the affected area, though a thrush tablet may also be prescribed in some cases. Both are effective when used as directed.

To reduce the risk of thrush recurring, it helps to wear breathable, loose-fitting clothing, avoid scented soaps and hygiene
products around the genital area, and maintain a balanced diet. If you experience frequent recurrences, a SwiftDoctor prescriber can advise on longer-term thrush treatment options and preventative strategies.
