Description
Nystan, containing the active ingredient nystatin, is an antifungal medication used to treat infections caused by Candida, a type of yeast that commonly affects the skin and mucous membranes. It is particularly effective for managing localized fungal infections such as oral thrush, intestinal candidiasis, and vaginal yeast infections.
Nystatin works by binding to the cell membrane of the yeast, creating holes that cause the cell contents to leak out. This targeted action kills the fungus and prevents further growth, allowing the affected tissues to heal and symptoms to resolve. Because it acts only in the area where it is applied or ingested, nystatin is considered a localized treatment and is not absorbed significantly into the bloodstream.
For vaginal infections, Nystan is used to relieve itching, irritation, and abnormal discharge associated with vaginal thrush.
Nystatin is also used in oral suspension or lozenges to treat oral Candida infections (thrush), particularly in patients using inhaled steroids, wearing dentures, or experiencing weakened immunity. When prescribed for intestinal candidiasis, it helps control yeast overgrowth in the digestive tract.
Nystan is generally well tolerated a, side effects are rare but may include mild gastrointestinal discomfort or local irritation.
General Information
Nystan is a liquid antifungal medication containing Nystatin, used to treat fungal infections in the mouth and throat, such as oral thrush.
It is primarily used to treat oral candidiasis, denture wearers, or individuals taking antibiotics or corticosteroids.
Nystan works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, causing the contents to leak out, which kills the fungus and stops the infection.
Typical dosing is 1 mL (100,000 units) four times a day, held in the mouth for as long as possible before swallowing or spitting. Dosage may vary depending on the patient’s age and condition.
Symptoms often begin to improve within a few days, but it’s important to complete the full course to prevent recurrence.
Nystan is excellent for localized oral infections and is preferred for patients who cannot swallow pills. It differs from systemic antifungals like fluconazole, which act throughout the body.
