Buy Gyno-Daktarin online
Gyno-Daktarin is a vaginal cream containing the active ingredient miconazole nitrate, a type of medicine known as an ‘antifungal’. It’s used to treat infections of the vagina, like vaginal thrush, or infections of the skin around the vagina. This medicine is recommended for use in adult women over the age of 18 only.
How Gyno-Daktarin treats thrush
Gyno-Daktarin cream contains the antifungal medicine miconazole nitrate. This active ingredient works by killing the fungus that causes the infection, preventing further growth of the yeast, as well as destroying other harmful bacteria that may also be present around the infection site.
Directions
For infections of the vagina, your doctor or Chemist4U pharmacist will usually recommend treatment lasting 7 days. You should insert the cream into your vagina once a day before bedtime, using the applicator provided.
To fill the applicator, remove the cap and screw the yellow end of the applicator with the green band onto the tube. Squeeze the tube whilst gently and slowly pulling the inner white plunger of the applicator until it reaches the stop mark.
To insert the cream, unscrew the filled applicator and lie down with your knees bent and spread apart. Insert the yellow end of the applicator with the green band well into your vagina, pushing the plunger firmly but gently. Empty the cream into your vagina by pushing the plunger as far as it will go. Once you’re done, remove and dispose of the applicator and wash your hands. A sanitary towel may be necessary after you’ve inserted the cream, but it won’t stain your clothes or skin.
For infections outside of the vagina, you will usually be advised to apply the cream to the affected area twice a day. Lightly cover the skin around your vagina with a thin layer of cream and wash your hands once you’re finished.
Make sure to keep using Gyno-Daktarin cream until your recommended course has finished, even if you get your period or your symptoms go away.

Like all medicines, there is a possibility you may experience some unwanted side effects when taking Gyno-Daktarin. These are usually mild and they won’t affect everyone. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or throat, skin rash, or fainting). Other side effects include:
- Local irritation, itching, or burning around or inside the vagina

- Urine infection or pain passing urine

Advice & Guides
Have I got bacterial vaginosis (BV) or thrush?
Thrush and Bacterial Vaginosis are common infections that can make your intimate area feel less than friendly.
If you’re struggling with an infection, you’re going to want to get rid of it fast, if only so you can lose the annoying itching!
But how can you tell the difference between these two very similar infections? Let’s find out the facts and see what makes them so different.
What are the symptoms of vaginal thrush?
Thrush is a common yeast infection that can affect both men and women.
It can be an uncomfortable or embarrassing issue, but it isn’t caused by poor hygiene and it’s not sexually transmitted. The symptoms of vaginal thrush include:
- White vaginal discharge that may resemble a ‘cottage cheese’ texture. This is usually odourless.
- Itching and irritation around the vagina
- Vaginal pain during sex
- A stinging sensation when urinating
There are a lot of different types of vaginal infection and it may be confusing to try and figure out if you’ve got thrush or not.
If you’re unsure, see your GP or visit a sexual health clinic for advice.
Vaginal infections are nothing to be embarrassed about and they can be cleared up quickly and effectively with the right treatment.
