CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Pharmacokinetics
Gastrointestinal absorption of nystatin is insignificant. Most orally administered nystatin is passed
unchanged in the stool. In patients with renal insufficiency receiving oral therapy with conventional
dosage forms, significant plasma concentrations of nystatin may occasionally occur.
Microbiology
Nystatin is both fungistatic and fungicidal in vitro against a wide variety of yeasts and yeast-like fungi.
Candida albicans demonstrates no significant resistance to nystatin in vitro on repeated subculture in
increasing levels of nystatin; other Candida species become quite resistant. Generally, resistance does
not develop in vivo. Nystatin acts by binding to sterols in the cell membrane of susceptible Candida
species with a resultant change in membrane permeability allowing leakage of intracellular components.
Nystatin exhibits no appreciable activity against bacteria, protozoa, or viruses.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The preparation is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its components.
PRECAUTIONS
General
This medication is not to be used for the treatment of systemic mycoses. Discontinue treatment if
sensitization or irritation is reported during use.
Pregnancy
Pediatric Us e
See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Nystatin is well tolerated even with prolonged therapy. Oral irritation and sensitization have been
reported. (See PRECAUTIONS: General).
Gastrointestinal: Diarrhea (including one case of bloody diarrhea), nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal
upset/disturbances.
Dermatologic: Rash, including urticaria has been reported rarely. Stevens-Johnson syndrome has been
reported very rarely.
Other: Tachycardia, bronchospasm, facial swelling, and non-specific myalgia have also been rarely
reported.
OVERDOSAGE
Oral doses of nystatin in excess of five million units daily have caused nausea and gastrointestinal upset.
There have been no reports of serious toxic effects of superinfections (see CLINICAL
PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacokinetics ).
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
INFANTS: 2 mL (200,000 units) four times daily (in infants and young children, use dropper to place
one-half of dose in each side of mouth and avoid feeding for 5 to 10 minutes).
NOTE: Limited clinical studies in premature and low birth weight infants indicate that 1 mL four times
daily is effective.
CHILDREN AND ADULTS: 4–6 mL (400,000 to 600,000 units) four times daily (one-half of dose in
each side of mouth). The preparation should be retained in the mouth as long as possible before
swallowing.
Continue treatment for at least 48 hours after perioral symptoms have disappeared and cultures
demonstrate eradication of Candida albicans.
