What is Nystatin and what is it used for:
Nystatin is an antifungal medication used to treat and prevent fungal infections in the mouth, throat, and digestive tract. It works by binding to fungal cell membranes, causing them to rupture and ultimately leading to the death of the fungus. Nystatin is commonly used to treat oral thrush, a yeast infection of the mouth and throat.
How to take Nystatin:
Nystatin is usually taken orally, four times daily, with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. It is important to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished.
Possible side effects of Nystatin:
Nystatin may cause some side effects, including:
Nausea
Diarrhea
Stomach upset
Vomiting
Skin rash
Itching
Swelling
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Precautions and warnings for Nystatin:
Before taking Nystatin, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as liver disease or a history of allergy to antifungal medications. Nystatin may interact with certain medications, including oral contraceptives and anticoagulants.
Nystatin is not recommended during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. It is also not recommended for use while breastfeeding.
It is important to attend regular doctor appointments and report any new or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider while taking Nystatin. Mycostatin (Nystatin) is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
