Nystan oral suspension is an antifungal treatment for oral thrush. It kills the fungi in your mouth, throat and gut by attacking fungal cells, and stopping them from being able to keep their structure.
Oral thrush, also known as oral candidiasis, is a fungal infection of the mouth caused by the yeast Candida albicans. It's a common infection in babies and adults with dentures. Although it's usually harmless, it should be treated with a topical antifungal as soon as possible to prevent it from spreading.
Nystatin, the active ingredient in Nystan, is an antifungal that kills fungi. When it binds to the cell membrane of fungi, it disrupts it, causing the contents of the cell to leak out. This eventually kills them.
There’s only one concentration of Nystan, each ml containing 100,000 units of nystatin (the active ingredient). It comes in a bottle containing 30ml of liquid, with a dropper that makes taking it easy.

When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body.

The recommended dosage for Nystan is a 1ml drop taken up to four times a day for adults and children. When taking multiple drops try to space it out evenly throughout the day. To take Nystan follow the directions below:
Within a couple of days you should start to feel better, but even if your symptoms have gone, continue taking it until the end of the treatment course (this should be for at least two days after your symptoms have disappeared). This is to make sure all the fungi have been killed and to prevent a relapse. If after 14 days your symptoms haven’t improved or the infection has returned, contact your clinician.
If you take more than the recommended amount it’s unlikely to cause any symptoms, as only a small amount is absorbed into the bloodstream.
If you forget to take a dose, take it when you remember. However, if it's close to your next dose, miss it. Don’t take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
