What is Nystatin, Nifuratel?

Nystatin/Nifuratel, the active ingredient in Macmiror Complex 500, is an antifungal and antiprotozoal combination presented as a vaginal formulation for local use. It treats common vaginal infections such as candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis in adult women. The dual action targets fungal cells and a broad range of bacteria and protozoa, providing a comprehensive approach to restore normal vaginal flora.

GNH USA supplies Macmiror Complex 500 as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Nystatin, Nifuratel used for?

Macmiror Complex 500 is used to treat vaginal infections caused by fungi, bacteria or protozoa. - Vaginal candidiasis: reduces fungal load of Candida species, relieving itching, discharge and irritation. - Bacterial vaginosis: suppresses overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria, helping restore normal lactobacilli dominance. - Trichomoniasis: eradicates Trichomonas vaginalis, alleviating malodorous discharge and discomfort.

What are the side effects of Nystatin, Nifuratel?

Macmiror Complex 500 may cause local or systemic adverse reactions, most of which are mild and reversible.

Common Side Effects: - Vaginal irritation: mild burning, itching or stinging at the site of application. - Discharge changes: increased volume or altered color/consistency of vaginal discharge. - Headache: transient mild headache, usually resolving without treatment.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction: rash, hives, swelling of face or lips, or difficulty breathing. - Severe vaginal inflammation: intense redness, swelling, ulceration or pain in the vaginal mucosa. - Liver enzyme elevation: rare increase in hepatic enzymes, may require monitoring.

What precautions apply to Nystatin, Nifuratel?

Before using Macmiror Complex 500, consider the following precautions to ensure safe and effective therapy. - Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional before use, as safety data are limited. - Breastfeeding: discuss potential risks with a physician, as the drug may be excreted in milk. - Allergy history: avoid if known hypersensitivity to nystatin, nifuratel or similar agents. - Concomitant vaginal products: do not use other intravaginal medications simultaneously without medical advice. - Complete course: use the full prescribed duration even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, in the original packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Nystatin, Nifuratel interact with?

Macmiror Complex 500 may interact with other medicines; awareness of these interactions helps avoid reduced efficacy or increased toxicity.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Systemic antifungals (e.g., oral fluconazole): concurrent use may increase systemic exposure to nystatin, raising risk of toxicity. - Immunosuppressants (e.g., cyclosporine): may enhance susceptibility to opportunistic infections if vaginal flora is disturbed.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Topical antibiotics: may alter vaginal flora and affect the therapeutic balance. - Hormonal contraceptives: no direct interaction, but vaginal irritation could affect absorption of some forms. - Probiotic supplements: timing should be staggered to prevent antagonistic effects on the vaginal microbiome.

Frequently asked questions

What is Macmiror Complex 500 used for?+
Macmiror Complex 500 is indicated for the treatment of common vaginal infections, including Candida‑related candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis caused by anaerobic bacterial overgrowth, and trichomoniasis due to Trichomonas vaginalis. It is applied locally to restore a healthy vaginal microbiome.
How does Nystatin/Nifuratel work?+
Nystatin binds to ergosterol in fungal cell membranes, creating pores that disrupt membrane integrity and lead to cell death. Nifuratel interferes with DNA synthesis and metabolic pathways of bacteria and protozoa, providing antibacterial and antiprotozoal activity. Together they act on multiple pathogen types within the vagina.
What is the usual dose of Macmiror Complex 500?+
The dosage and duration of therapy are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the specific infection, severity, and patient characteristics. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label for proper use.
Is Macmiror Complex 500 safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Nystatin/Nifuratel in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using the product.
How do I order Macmiror Complex 500 from GNH USA?+
Enquiries can be submitted through the product page on gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, and will request trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Macmiror Complex 500 compare with other vaginal anti‑infectives?+
Unlike single‑agent products such as clotrimazole (antifungal) or metronidazole (antiprotozoal), Macmiror Complex 500 combines an antifungal (nystatin) with an antibacterial/antiprotozoal agent (nifuratel), offering broader coverage against mixed infections. This dual mechanism can simplify therapy when multiple pathogen types are suspected.
How should Macmiror Complex 500 be stored and handled?+
Store the product at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep it in the original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed when not in use.
How is Macmiror Complex 500 administered?+
Macmiror Complex 500 is intended for intravaginal use. The prescribed amount is inserted into the vagina using the supplied applicator or as directed by a healthcare professional, typically before bedtime to maximize contact time.
What are the most serious risks associated with Macmiror Complex 500?+
Serious adverse reactions, although rare, include hypersensitivity manifestations such as rash, hives, facial swelling or difficulty breathing, and severe vaginal inflammation or ulceration. Rare hepatic effects, such as elevated liver enzymes, may also occur and warrant medical evaluation.
Who should not use Macmiror Complex 500?+
Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to nystatin, nifuratel, or any component of the formulation should avoid using the product. Patients with severe, uncontrolled systemic infections should seek alternative systemic therapy as advised by their clinician.
