Product Overview
Nystatin is a polyene antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections. It works by binding to ergosterol, a component of the fungal cell membrane, thereby disrupting the membrane and causing cell death. Nystatin is particularly effective against Candida species and is commonly used in the treatment of oral, vaginal, and skin infections caused by these fungi. It is available in various forms, including tablets, creams, and suspensions, making it versatile for different types of infections. Nystatin is generally well-tolerated, but it can cause side effects such as gastrointestinal upset and skin irritation. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to ensure effectiveness and minimize the risk of side effects.
