About Nystatin Oral Suspension

Nystatin oral suspension is an antifungal medication prescribed primarily to treat fungal infections of the mouth, commonly known as oral thrush or candidiasis. It belongs to a class of drugs called polyenes and works by binding to sterols in the cell membranes of fungi, causing the cells to leak and die. This medication is specifically effective against Candida species and is often used for infants, children, and adults who have developed white patches or sores in the mouth due to yeast overgrowth. The medication is typically taken as a liquid that patients swish around their mouth to ensure it covers all affected areas before swallowing or spitting it out as directed by a healthcare provider. It is important to continue using the suspension for the full duration of the prescription to ensure the infection is completely eradicated. Common side effects are generally mild but may include nausea or stomach upset.
