Frequently asked questions

What conditions is Nyvigan used to treat?+
Nyvigan contains nystatin, a polyene antifungal that is used to treat superficial fungal infections caused by Candida species, specifically cutaneous (skin) candidiasis and vaginal candidiasis.
How does nystatin work to treat fungal infections?+
Nystatin binds to ergosterol, a sterol unique to fungal cell membranes, forming pores that increase membrane permeability. This leads to leakage of essential intracellular components and ultimately causes fungal cell death while sparing human cells.
What is the usual dose of Nyvigan?+
The appropriate dose and duration of Nyvigan are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the type and severity of the infection, the site of application, and patient‑specific factors.
Is Nyvigan safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for nystatin 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 Nyvigan.
How do I order Nyvigan from GNH USA?+
To request Nyvigan, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Nyvigan compare with other antifungal treatments?+
Nyvigan (nystatin) is a polyene antifungal that acts by binding ergosterol, whereas azole antifungals inhibit ergosterol synthesis. Nystatin is typically used for topical or intravaginal applications and is effective against Candida species that may be resistant to azoles.
What are the proper storage conditions for Nyvigan?+
Nyvigan should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep it away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain product stability.
How is Nyvigan administered?+
Nyvigan is applied topically to the affected skin area or inserted intravaginally as directed by a healthcare professional. The medication should be spread thinly and gently massaged into the skin or placed inside the vagina using the supplied applicator.
What are the most serious risks associated with Nyvigan?+
The most serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, hives, angioedema, or difficulty breathing. If any signs of a severe hypersensitivity reaction occur, the product should be discontinued immediately and medical attention sought.
Who should not use Nyvigan?+
Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to nystatin or other polyene antifungals should avoid using Nyvigan. Patients with extensive broken skin or mucosa should only use it under medical supervision.
