Kenstatin Drop Oral Suspension (Nystatin) x30ml

Kenstatin Drop Oral Suspension contains Nystatin as an antifungal medication with a convenient dropper applicator. This topical antifungal treats oral thrush and other candida infections in the mouth and throat, particularly in infants, children, and immunocompromised patients.

Uses

Kenstatin Drop Oral Suspension treats oral candidiasis (thrush) caused by Candida albicans and other susceptible yeast species. It’s commonly prescribed for mouth infections in newborns, infants, elderly patients, and those with compromised immune systems. The medication is also used prophylactically in high-risk patients.

• Convenient dropper delivery system for precise dosing

• Pleasant taste improves patient compliance
• Rapid relief of symptoms like white patches and soreness
• Prevents spread of infection to other oral areas
• Suitable for long-term use when necessary
• Well-tolerated by most patients

How It Works

Nystatin binds to ergosterol in fungal cell membranes, creating pores that allow cell contents to leak out, ultimately killing the fungal cells. Since human cells don’t contain ergosterol, Kenstatin selectively targets fungal infections while leaving healthy tissue unharmed.

Dosage

Use dropper to place Kenstatin directly in mouth. Retain in mouth as long as possible before swallowing. Continue for 48 hours after symptoms disappear.

Duration of Action

Kenstatin Drop begins working immediately upon contact with fungal organisms. Symptom improvement typically occurs within 24-48 hours of starting treatment. Complete resolution usually takes 7-14 days of consistent use. The medication remains active in the mouth for several hours after each dose.

Side Effects

Kenstatin Drop is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Occasionally, patients may experience mild nausea, stomach upset, or diarrhea. Rare allergic reactions including skin rash or irritation may occur. Most adverse effects are mild and resolve without intervention.

Warning

Complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve to prevent recurrence. Kenstatin is for oral use only and should not be used in eyes or other body cavities. Discontinue use and consult healthcare provider if symptoms worsen or new symptoms develop during treatment.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Kenstatin Drop is considered safe during pregnancy as it has minimal systemic absorption. It’s classified as Pregnancy Category A, meaning studies show no risk to the fetus. The medication is also safe during breastfeeding since very little enters breast milk.

Interaction

• Generally no significant drug interactions due to minimal absorption
• May reduce effectiveness of live bacterial vaccines if swallowed
• Possible interaction with immunosuppressive medications
• No known interactions with common medications
• Safe to use with most other treatments

Precaution

Shake well before each use. Store at room temperature and protect from light. Keep dropper clean and replace cap after each use. Don’t share medication with others. Patients with diabetes should monitor blood sugar as some formulations contain sugar. Discard any unused medication after treatment course.

Important Information

Kenstatin Drop treats fungal infections but won’t work for bacterial or viral infections. Maintain good oral hygiene during treatment. For infants, clean feeding equipment thoroughly to prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist beyond 14 days of treatment, consult healthcare provider for further evaluation. The dropper should be cleaned after each use to prevent contamination.
