Nystatin is a polyene antimycotic drug to which Candida spp. are sensitive. Nystatin is not absorbed from intact skin or mucous membranes and is considered a "clean" drug as it has no proven side effects.

Uses

---

Cutaneous, vaginal, mucosal and esophageal Candida infections can be treated with nystatin. Cryptococcus is also sensitive to nystatin. In the UK its license for treating neonatal oral thrush is restricted to those over the age of one month (miconazole is an appropriate alternative for younger babies).

Nystatin is often used as prophylaxis in patients who are at risk for fungal infections, such as AIDS patients with a low CD4⁺ count and patients receiving chemotherapy.
