Get Mycostatin Online

Mycostatin (nystatin) is used to treat fungal infections caused by Candida, most commonly oral thrush (oropharyngeal candidiasis) and mucocutaneous candidiasis. It is not absorbed into the bloodstream when taken by mouth, so it works locally at the site of infection in the mouth, throat, or gut.

For oral thrush, the suspension is typically swished around the mouth for as long as possible before swallowing. Most prescriptions call for use four times daily. Continue using it for the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve early, to prevent recurrence.

Most people notice improvement in symptoms such as soreness or white patches within a few days of starting Mycostatin. A full course of 7 to 14 days is usually recommended to clear the infection completely. Your physician will advise on the appropriate duration for your case.

Mycostatin is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects with the oral suspension include mild nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach upset. Serious adverse reactions are rare due to its minimal systemic absorption. Contact your physician if you experience any unusual or severe reactions.

Yes. Oral thrush can recur, especially in people with risk factors such as dentures, inhaled corticosteroid use, diabetes, dry mouth, or a weakened immune system. Addressing underlying causes and maintaining good oral hygiene can reduce the risk of recurrence. Your physician can advise on preventive strategies.

Nystatin has a low potential for drug interactions because it is not absorbed systemically when taken as an oral suspension. However, you should always inform your physician of all medications, supplements, and health conditions before starting any new prescription.

Mycostatin should not be used by anyone with a known hypersensitivity to nystatin or any component of the formulation.
