What is Nilstat
NystatinThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryNystatin is a medication used to treat fungal infections caused by yeast and certain types of fungi. It is produced by a strain of bacteria called Streptomyces noursei and is similar to Amphotericin B. Nystatin is most effective when applied directly to the infected area, as it does not get absorbed by the body when taken orally or topically. It is primarily used to treat skin, mucous membrane, and gastrointestinal fungal infections.

Effectiveness
How Nilstat Affects PatientsNystatin is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections caused by certain types of yeast. It works by breaking down the cell wall of the yeast, preventing it from growing. It has limited effectiveness against other types of organisms, including bacteria, protozoa, and viruses. It is not suitable for use in the body, so it is only used to treat external and gastrointestinal infections. Resistance to nystatin is rare in _Candida albicans_ but more common in other species of _Candida_.
How Nilstat works in the bodyNystatin works by creating a hole or pore in the cell membrane of fungi. This pore changes the membrane's permeability, which causes the cell's contents to leak out and disrupts the proper functioning of the cell. Nystatin is a selective drug because it binds to an ingredient in fungal cell walls, which is different than the ingredient in mammal cell walls.
When to interrupt dosage
The prescribed dose of Nilstat is contingent upon the diagnosed state, such as cutaneous candidiasis, Skin candida and corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. The amount also changes according to the mode of delivery (e.g. Insert or Insert - Vaginal) outlined in the following table.Condition

Patient Q&A Section about nilstat
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.How quickly does NILSTAT work?
"You will take the nystatin liquid four times a day, after meals and before bedtime. It is important not to eat or drink for thirty minutes after taking the liquid. Two days is usually when the nystatin starts working. Even after your condition improves, you will need to continue taking or using nystatin for an additional two days."
Answered by AI
How long do you use NILSTAT for?
"If you're using NILSTAT and don't see improvement within two weeks, or if symptoms return shortly after stopping treatment, you should contact your doctor."

What is NILSTAT used for?
"NILSTAT is a medication used to treat intestinal candidiasis, also known as thrush. This is an infection in your gut caused by the Candida fungus. NILSTAT is classified as an antifungal agent, meaning it works by damaging the cell wall of the Candida fungus, causing it to die."
