📌 COMPOSITION

Each 1 ml contains: Nystatin 100,000 IU.

📌 DESCRIPTION

Nysta-Drop (Nystatin) is an antifungal produced by the growth of certain strains of Streptomyces noursei, and it is active against a wide range of yeasts and fungi, including Candida albicans. It binds to ergosterol, a major component of the fungal cell membrane, and forms pores in the membrane that lead to K⁺ leakage, acidification and death of the fungus. Nysta-Drop is not absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, skin or vagina, so it is used topically.

📌 INDICATIONS

• Prevention and treatment of fungal infections in the oral cavity, oesophagus and gastrointestinal tract.
• Prevention against oral candidosis in newborns born to mothers with vaginal candidosis.

📌 DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION

• Newborns: For prophylaxis 1 ml once daily.
• Infants from 1 month to 2 years: For treatment 1 ml four times daily.*
• Children older than 2 years: 4-6 ml four times daily.*
• Adults: 5-10 ml four times daily.*

Note: For the treatment of oral cavity infection, keep the suspension in contact with the affected area in the mouth as long as possible before swallowing.

* Administration of Nysta-Drop should be continued for 48 hours after clinical cure to prevent relapse.
