Thrush Treatment Capsules contain an antifungal (pictured) and can be used to treat thrush (vaginal candidiasis) and can also be used by the woman’s sexual partner to treat associated penile thrush (candidal balanitis).
Thrush is a common infection caused by a yeast (or fungus), which may live harmlessly in the vagina without you even noticing it.
Under certain circumstances, it may develop into an infection in the vagina and symptoms may spread to the surrounding area. The symptoms may include one or more of the following:
- Itching of the vagina and surrounding area (the vulva)
- Redness and swelling of the tissues of the vagina and vulva
- Soreness of the vagina and vulva
- White non-smelling discharge from the vagina
Thrush may be aggravated by sexual intercourse, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease. However, sometimes thrush can be passed to your partner through sexual intercourse.
If your partner has penile thrush, he may have one or more of the following symptoms:
- Soreness and redness of the penis
- Tightness of the foreskin
- A white non-smelling penile discharge

Pregnancy/Breastfeeding
Thrush capsules can be taken in pregnancy if other treatments have not worked but only if advised by your GP or healthcare professional.
If you have thrush, ask your GP for advice about treatment. Your doctor may prescribe clotrimazole or a similar antifungal medicine. This may be as a cream or as a soft tablet (a pessary). If the thrush does not go away, they may prescribe a single dose (150mg) of fluconazole. They’ll discuss the risks and benefits to you and your baby.
Thrush capsules may be used during breastfeeding if advised by your GP or healthcare professional
