What is Nystan?

If you struggle with repeated cases of oral thrush, you can read our guide on oral thrush prevention to find out what you can do to reduce the likeliness of your symptoms returning.

How does Nystatin Oral Suspension work?

Nystatin works by weakening the cell walls of the fungus, allowing the contents of the cell to spill out, thus killing the cell and clearing the infection.

It does this by attaching to a compound called ergosterol, which the cells need to maintain their cell membrane. This causes the cell wall to become weak and lose its structural integrity.

While you may notice an improvement in your symptoms within a day or two of taking Nystatin, it is important to continue to take Nystatin for the full period prescribed by your doctor in order to eradicate your infection.

Similarly to antibiotics, ceasing Nystatin treatment early can cause the infection to come back. Therefore, it is important to complete your course of antifungal medication as prescribed.

  • It is to be used FOUR times daily with the doses spaced evenly throughout the day. 
  • Before using this medicine, it is imperative that you have read the patient information leaflet which can be found here and inside the box.
  • Shake the bottle well before using the drops.
  • With the dropper, drop the liquid inside your mouth near the affected areas without the dropper touching the mouth as you do this. Swish the suspenstion around your mouth and then keep it on the affected areas for as long as manageable before swallowing.

How does Nystan work?

The anti-fungal ingredient nystatin, when used as an oral suspension, kills the fungus that causes thrush by targeting the infection generating the contents of the cells to leak making it impossible for them to expand or survive. 

Nystan gets to work quickly because it is applied directly to the source of the fungal infection. Most people will see and feel a noticeable improvement to their condition within the first two days of use.
