Contraindication Notes:
There is no known contraindication to the use of Nystatin.
Nystatin is an antifungal antibiotic. Which has fungistatic or fungicidal activity against variety of pathogenic and nonpathogenic yeast and fungi, including Candida albicans. Nystatin exerts its antifungal activity by binding to sterols in the fungal cell membrane. As a result of binding, the membrane is no longer able to function as a selective barrier, and potassium and other cellular constituents are lost. It is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea have occasionally been reported with high doses of Nystatin. No systemic effects or allergic reactions have been associated with its oral dose.
Absorption of Nystatin from the gastrointestinal tract is negligible, therefore no special precautions apply in pregnancy.
Absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is negligible, therefore no special precaution is required to apply in pregnancy and lactation.
