Also treats the thrush that grows under dentures. 15g tube with measuring spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy a gel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrush lives on the surface of the mouth, so the treatment needs to stay there. The gel clings to the lining and releases miconazole slowly, which is why it works where mouthwashes don't. In babies, thrush usually appears after antibiotics or from a dummy or bottle; in adults it follows inhaled steroids, antibiotics, dentures or a dry mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBabies 4 to 24 months: 1.25ml (a quarter of the spoon) four times a day after feeds, smeared in small amounts on the patches with a clean finger. Adults and children over 2: 2.5ml (half a spoon) four times a day after meals, held in the mouth as long as possible before swallowing. Keep going for at least a week after the patches have gone. Dentures out at night and brushed with the gel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiconazole is absorbed from the mouth and has serious interactions: never with warfarin, and not with simvastatin, lovastatin and several other medicines, or with liver problems; the questionnaire asks. In babies, apply small amounts to the front of the mouth only, never the back of the throat, to avoid choking. Sterilise dummies and bottle teats daily.
