Important information about Nystatin Oral
How does Nystatin Oral work?
Nystatin is a polyene antifungal that binds to sterols in the fungal cell membrane. This damages the fungus so it cannot survive and grow. Nystatin is not useful for bacterial infections, viral infections, or protozoal infections, because those organisms do not have the same type of membrane target. It is poorly absorbed when swallowed, so it mainly works locally in the mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract rather than throughout the whole body.
How do you use Nystatin Oral?
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Nystatin Oral Suspension. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Nystatin oral:
Shake well before use.
Measure doses carefully using the supplied dropper or a calibrated measuring device.
Instill the half liquid in each side of the mouth and swish or gargle, keeping contact with the lesions for as long as possible before swallowing.
Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking for 5 to 10 minutes after swallowing the dose.
If you wear dentures and have oral thrush, special denture cleaning or soaking may be needed to remove Candida from dentures.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take two doses at the same time.
What are the side effects of Nystatin Oral?
Some mild or common side effects of Nystatin Oral Suspension seen in clinical trials as compared to placebo include:
Nausea.
Vomiting.
Diarrhea.
Stomach pain.
Some individuals may experience serious side effects while using Nystatin Oral Suspension. These side effects may require immediate medical attention. If you experience any of the following, contact your healthcare provider or seek emergency medical help:
Allergic reaction, including hives, rash, swelling of the face, or trouble breathing.
Severe skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson Syndrome).
Bronchospasm (trouble breathing or wheezing).
Tachycardia (fast heartbeat).
Severe muscle pain.
These are not all of the possible side effects of Nystatin. You should always seek medical advice from your healthcare provider for any questions or concerns about your medical condition or treatment. Read all patient information, medication guides, or drug information sheets that come with this medication. You can also report adverse effects to the Food and Drug Administration at www.fda.gov/medwatch or 1-800-FDA-1088.
What are the warnings or precautions for Nystatin Oral?
Before starting Nystatin Oral Suspension, it is crucial to discuss any existing health conditions with your healthcare provider. You should be sure that your healthcare provider is aware of all your medical conditions, including if you:
