Medical Overview

Nystatin Oral Drops is listed as Antiviral / Antifungal containing Nystatin. A medicine used according to its active ingredient, dosage form, and the patient’s condition.

Nystatin oral drops — the zero-absorption oral antifungal: contact-killing candida with literally no systemic exposure (newborn-safe from day one; warfarin-safe, unlike miconazole gel — a decisive advantage for anticoagulated patients). Technique is the therapy: after feeds, painted on and kept in contact, 4×/day, 48h past clearing, with boiled teats/dummies and simultaneous treatment of mum’s cracked nipples to break the reinfection loop.
