How it works
Nystatin is a polyene antifungal. It binds to components of the fungal cell membrane, disrupting the membrane and inhibiting the growth and survival of susceptible fungi such as Candida. Oral nystatin has very limited systemic absorption, so its activity is mainly local within the gastrointestinal tract.
Dosage
The appropriate dose and duration depend on the infection, age, and medical condition. Take it exactly as prescribed by a doctor. Do not increase the dose or extend treatment without medical advice.
Possible side effects
Some people may experience:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Stomach discomfort
- Abdominal pain
Seek medical attention if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction or severe/persistent symptoms.
Precautions
- Use only as directed by a healthcare professional.
- Tell your doctor about any allergy to nystatin or other medicines.
- Complete the prescribed course even if symptoms improve.
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and use in children should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
