What is Mycostatin
NystatinThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryNystatin is a medication used to treat fungal infections caused by certain types of yeast and fungi. It is derived from a strain of the bacteria Streptomyces noursei and is closely related to Amphotericin B. Nystatin is more effective than Amphotericin B, but is not suitable for systemic use due to toxicity. It is usually administered orally or topically and it is not absorbed into the body, so it only works on the surface of the skin, mucous membranes, or gastrointestinal tract.

Effectiveness
How Mycostatin Affects PatientsNystatin is an antifungal drug that can stop the growth and spread of certain kinds of fungi. It works by affecting the cell membrane surrounding the fungus. While it is generally very effective against _Candida albicans_, other types of _Candida_ may become resistant to it. Nystatin does not affect bacteria, protozoa, or viruses. It cannot be used to treat systemic infections, so it must be applied topically, orally, or in the gastrointestinal tract.
How Mycostatin works in the bodyNystatin works by creating pores in the cell walls of fungi. This increases the permeability of the cell wall, allowing the contents inside the cell to leak out, leading to disruption of how the cell works. Nystatin is able to target fungal cells more effectively than mammalian cells because it has a stronger bond to ergosterol, which is a sterol found in fungal cell walls, than cholesterol, which is found in mammalian cell walls.
When to interrupt dosage
The suggested dosage of Mycostatin is contingent upon the recognized condition, such as cutaneous candidiasis, Skin candida and corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. The measure of dosage fluctuates, in light of the technique of conveyance (e.g. Insert or Insert - Vaginal) presented in the table beneath.Condition

Mycostatin Reviews: What are patients saying about Mycostatin?
5Patient Review
10/9/2008 This was easy to take and I didn't mind the taste. Most importantly, it worked great!
5Patient Review
2/20/2011 This medication is effective, but I was told that I have to take it regularly in order to manage my candida. So far, no side effects and I feel really good after taking it!
4Patient Review
10/24/2020 I just started using Mycastatin. I find it very easy to use--the taste is not bad, slight bitterness that one can tolerate. I have not completed treatment yet so I cannot speak to its effectiveness; however, I will return and update this review once I am finished.
3.7Patient Review
12/15/2007 The taste is really off-putting, but it works well enough that I can overlook it.
3.7Patient Review
7/18/2012 The taste is incredibly unpleasant, but it's worth it for the results.
