I agree here. Off label use of products by doctors is a reality, but they put their license on the line if something goes wrong. With two proven Candida killers (Diflucan in particular, which is going generic in a couple of months) why any doctor or dentist would recommend an OTC product is beyond me. As lay people we probably should not recommend things like this, though I know this was mentioned in the spirit of helping someone. I wonder if the doctor has considered that the ingestion of some drugs, which are topical and not designed to be intentionally or accidentally ingested could be a serious lawsuit waiting to happen....

Now that we have plenty of disclaimers after the post, I am leaving it here. This is one of those instances where as one of two people with "delete post" capabilities; I usually use it to protect the foundation and the posters from liability. But it has been awhile since we discussed this and the post serves a useful purpose being left now.
