Nystatin Oral Suspension, for oral administration, contains 100,000 USP Nystatin Units per mL. Inactive
ingredients: alcohol (≤ 1% v/v), artificial wild cherry flavor, banana flavor, D&C yellow #10, FD&C

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.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE


Nystatin Oral Suspension is indicated for the treatment of candidiasis in the oral cavity.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
The preparation is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its components.

PRECAUTIONS

sensitization or irritation is reported during use.

Carcinogenes is , Mutagenes is , Impairment of Fertility


No long-term animal studies have been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential. There also have
been no studies to determine mutagenicity or whether this medication affects fertility in males or
females.

Pregnancy

Teratogenic Effects Category C


Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with nystatin oral suspension. It is also not known
whether nystatin oral suspension can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can
affect reproduction capacity. Nystatin oral suspension should be given to a pregnant woman only if
clearly needed.

Nurs ing Mothers

milk, caution should be exercised when nystatin is administered to a nursing woman.

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.
