The sugar-free gel is orange flavoured, making it more palatable. Daktarin can be used by the whole family, including adults and children over the age of 4 months.

Daktarin Oral Gel is available to buy without a prescription from online pharmacies, such as Prescription Doctor, as well as high-street pharmacies and some supermarkets.

To begin your order and buy Daktarin Oral Gel today, you just need to answer a few simple medical questions. Order before 3pm Mon-Fri for our pharmacy to dispatch your item the same day via a discreet next day delivery.

What is oral thrush?

Oral thrush is a fungal infection which develops in the mouth, throat and gullet (oesophagus).

Symptoms of oral thrush include:

  • Redness inside the mouth and throat
  • Stinging or burning sensation in the mouth
  • Unpleasant taste
  • White patches in the mouth

Oral thrush can be caused by:

  • having a weakened immune system due to a condition such as diabetes or HIV
  • taking certain medications such as corticosteroid inhalers or oral antibiotics
  • smoking
  • wearing dentures

Thrush can spread if it gets into the bloodstream, so it’s important to treat it as soon as you can.

Oral thrush can be treated with over-the-counter oral thrush gel such as Daktarin Oral Gel, which you can buy from UK registered pharmacies such as Prescription Doctor.


How Does Daktarin Oral Gel Work Against Oral Thrush?

Daktarin Oral Gel contains an antifungal called miconazole that targets the fungus causing oral thrush by disrupting its cell membrane. 

Miconazole destroys fungal cells directly to clear up the infection.

How long does Daktarin Oral Gel take to work?

It typically takes 1 week for Daktarin Oral Gel to clear symptoms of oral thrush.

However, you should continue taking Daktarin Oral Gel for 1 week after your symptoms have disappeared.


How Do I Use Daktarin Oral Gel?

Daktarin Oral Gel is applied to the inside of the mouth to treat oral thrush.

You should apply Daktarin Oral Gel at regular intervals throughout the day after food.

The typical dose of Daktarin Oral Gel for Adults and children over the age of two is 2.5 ml (half a 5 ml spoonful) 4 times a day.

Use the included 5 ml medical spoon to measure out Daktarin Oral Gel. Using a kitchen spoon may provide an inaccurate quantity of Daktarin Oral Gel, resulting in taking too little or too much.

With a clean finger, apply the gel to the affected areas inside your mouth.

Keep the gel in your mouth for as long as possible - don’t swallow it straight away.

After applying Daktarin Oral Gel, avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes afterwards. This prevents you from washing away the gel too soon.

How long should I use Daktarin Oral Gel for?

You should use Daktarin Oral Gel for 2 weeks.

If your symptoms do not clear up after using Daktarin Oral Gel for 1 week, speak to one of our doctors online.

How do I use Dakatrin Oral Gel with dentures?

Daktarin Oral Gel can be used with dentures.

Remove your dentures and rub some Daktarin Oral Gel on them before bed. This can prevent thrush from infecting your dentures.

What should I do if I forget to use Daktarin Oral Gel when I should?

If you forget to use Daktarin Oral Gel when you should, use it as soon as you remember.

If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and use Daktarin Oral Gel at the next usual time.

Do not use more Daktarin Oral Gel to make up for a missed dose.

What should I do if I use more Daktarin than I should?

If you or someone else uses more Daktarin Oral Gel than you should, inform your doctor as soon as possible or go straight to the nearest accident and emergency.

Remember to take the packaging with you, even if there is no medicine left, as this can be useful for doctors treating you.
