What is Nystatin?

Nystatin, the active ingredient in Nystatin Acis, is a polyol polyfungi presented as a pharmaceutical preparation for oral use. It treats fungal infections of the mouth, skin and gastrointestinal tract in both adults and children.

GNH USA supplies Nystatin Acis as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, transplant centres, oncology centres, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Nystatin used for?

Nystatin Acis is an antifungal agent used to manage infections caused by susceptible Candida species.

- Oral thrush: reduces fungal load and relieves symptoms in the mouth and throat. - Esophageal candidiasis: helps clear infection and improve swallowing. - Cutaneous candidiasis: treats skin fungal infections such as diaper rash and intertrigo. - Intestinal candidiasis: controls overgrowth of Candida in the gastrointestinal tract. - Prophylaxis in immunocompromised patients: prevents fungal colonisation during high‑risk periods.

What are the side effects of Nystatin?

Nystatin may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and reversible.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset after oral administration. - Vomiting: occasional expulsion of stomach contents. - Abdominal cramps: transient discomfort in the abdomen. - Diarrhea: loose stools during treatment. - Skin rash: localized redness or irritation. - Itching: mild pruritus at the application site.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Anaphylactic reaction: severe allergic response requiring immediate medical attention. - Hepatotoxicity: signs of liver injury such as jaundice. - Nephrotoxicity: impaired kidney function, especially with high doses. - Severe skin reactions: Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Persistent gastrointestinal upset: prolonged vomiting or diarrhea. - Hematologic abnormalities: rare blood cell count changes.

What precautions apply to Nystatin?

When using Nystatin Acis, consider the following safety measures.

- Pregnancy: use only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. - Breastfeeding: caution advised as small amounts may be excreted in breast milk. - Renal impairment: monitor kidney function and adjust therapy if needed. - Hepatic impairment: assess liver function before and during treatment. - Drug interactions: review concomitant medications for possible interactions. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and light.

What does Nystatin interact with?

Nystatin Acis may interact with other medicines; some interactions require avoidance while others need monitoring.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent nephrotoxic drugs: increased risk of kidney injury. - Co‑administration with other polyene antifungals: heightened toxicity potential. - Systemic corticosteroids: may reduce antifungal efficacy.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antacids: may affect oral absorption of the drug. - Broad‑spectrum antibiotics: can alter normal flora and affect fungal balance. - Oral contraceptives: possible reduction in contraceptive effectiveness.

Frequently asked questions

What is Nystatin Acis used for?+
Nystatin Acis is an antifungal medication indicated for the treatment and prevention of Candida infections, including oral thrush, esophageal candidiasis, cutaneous candidiasis, and intestinal overgrowth in both adults and children.
How does Nystatin work?+
Nystatin binds to ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane, creating pores that increase membrane permeability. This causes leakage of essential intracellular components, leading to fungal cell death while sparing human cells.
What is the usual dose of Nystatin Acis?+
The dosage of Nystatin Acis is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the specific infection, patient age, weight, and clinical response. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.
Is Nystatin Acis safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Nystatin Acis in pregnancy are limited; it should be used only if the potential benefit outweighs any risk to the fetus. Small amounts may be excreted in breast milk, so caution is advised for nursing mothers.
How do I order Nystatin Acis from GNH USA?+
To order Nystatin Acis, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com with the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and import documentation.
How does Nystatin compare with other antifungal agents?+
Nystatin is a polyene antifungal that acts locally on Candida species, whereas azoles such as fluconazole work systemically by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis. Nystatin is often preferred for superficial or mucosal infections due to its limited systemic absorption.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Nystatin Acis?+
Nystatin Acis should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container, protected from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use it after the expiry date.
How is Nystatin Acis administered?+
Nystatin Acis is administered orally as a suspension, lozenge, or tablet, depending on the formulation supplied. The product is taken as directed by the prescriber, usually after meals to reduce gastrointestinal irritation.
What are the most serious risks associated with Nystatin Acis?+
Serious risks, though rare, include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and severe skin reactions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience signs of these conditions.
Who should not use Nystatin Acis?+
Patients with a known hypersensitivity to nystatin or any component of the formulation should avoid using Nystatin Acis. Caution is also advised for individuals with significant renal or hepatic impairment, and it should be used under medical supervision in these cases.
