Mystatin Drop Oral Suspension (Nystatin) x30ml

Mystatin Drop Oral Suspension contains Nystatin as an antifungal medication with a convenient dropper for accurate dosing. This oral suspension effectively treats oral thrush and other fungal infections in the mouth and throat, particularly in infants and children.

Uses

Mystatin Drop treats oral candidiasis (thrush), particularly in infants, young children, and immunocompromised patients. It’s effective against fungal infections of the mouth, throat, and esophagus caused by Candida species. The dropper format allows precise dosing for pediatric patients.

Benefits

• Provides targeted antifungal treatment for oral thrush
• Convenient dropper ensures accurate pediatric dosing
• Safe for use in infants and young children
• Minimal systemic absorption reduces side effects
• Effective against various Candida species
• Helps restore normal oral flora balance
• Reduces discomfort from oral fungal infections
• Prevents spread of infection to other areas
• Well-tolerated in immunocompromised patients

How It Works

Nystatin binds to fungal cell membranes, specifically targeting ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell walls. This binding disrupts membrane integrity, causing cell contents to leak and ultimately leading to fungal cell death. Mystatin Drop acts locally in the mouth with minimal systemic absorption.

Dosage

Use the provided dropper to measure accurate doses. Hold in mouth for several minutes before swallowing to ensure contact with infected areas.

Duration of Action

Mystatin Drop begins working immediately upon contact with fungal organisms. Improvement typically occurs within 24-48 hours, with complete resolution usually achieved within 7-14 days. The medication remains active in the mouth for several hours after administration.

Side Effects

Mystatin Drop is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Occasional mild gastrointestinal upset, including nausea or diarrhea, may occur. Rare allergic reactions include rash or itching. Local irritation or burning sensation in the mouth is uncommon but possible.

Warning

Complete the full treatment course even if symptoms improve early. Discontinue use and consult healthcare provider if allergic reactions occur. Mystatin Drop is not effective against bacterial infections. Ensure proper diagnosis of fungal infection before treatment. Shake well before each use.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Mystatin Drop is considered safe during pregnancy as it has minimal systemic absorption. It’s also safe for breastfeeding mothers, as only trace amounts enter breast milk. The medication can be used in nursing infants for treating oral thrush.

Interaction

• Minimal drug interactions due to low systemic absorption
• Generally safe with other medications
• No significant interactions with common pediatric medications
• Compatible with most oral care products
• May reduce effectiveness of some probiotic supplements temporarily

Precaution

Use with caution in patients with known hypersensitivity to nystatin or related antifungals. Ensure proper oral hygiene during treatment. Clean feeding bottles and pacifiers regularly to prevent reinfection. Store at room temperature and discard after expiration date. Shake bottle well before each use.

Important Information

Mystatin Drop should be used only for diagnosed fungal infections. Maintain good oral hygiene during treatment. For infants, clean pacifiers and bottle nipples regularly. Continue treatment for 48 hours after symptoms resolve. Store upright at room temperature, away from light. Discard unused medication after treatment completion or expiration date.
