Mycostatin (Ready Mixed) (Nystatin)

Nystatin binds selectively to ergosterol, a sterol unique to fungal cell membranes. This binding creates pores that increase membrane permeability, causing essential intracellular components to leak out. The loss of cellular homeostasis leads to rapid fungal cell death, while human cells are largely unaffected because they contain cholesterol instead of ergosterol.

The exact dose of Mycostatin (Ready Mixed) is set by the prescribing healthcare professional. Dosage depends on factors such as the type and severity of the candidiasis, the patient’s age, weight, renal function and overall clinical condition. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and use the supplied measuring device.

Safety of nystatin in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established. It is classified as pregnancy category unknown. Use is recommended only when the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made in consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.

Mycostatin (nystatin) is a polyene antifungal that acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract and has minimal systemic absorption, making it ideal for mucosal candidiasis. Fluconazole is an azole that is absorbed systemically and is used for deeper or disseminated infections. Nystatin’s spectrum is limited to Candida species, while fluconazole covers a broader range of fungi but may have more drug‑interaction potential.

Store Mycostatin (Ready Mixed) at temperatures below 25 °C. Keep the suspension in its original container, protect it from moisture and direct light, and ensure the cap is tightly closed. Do not freeze the product, and discard any suspension that appears discoloured or has an off‑odor.

Mycostatin (Ready Mixed) is an oral suspension. Shake the bottle well before each use, measure the prescribed dose with a calibrated oral syringe or measuring spoon, and swallow the dose directly or mix it with a small amount of food or drink if needed. It may be taken with or without meals, unless otherwise directed by the prescriber.

The most serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, itching, or hives, and in rare cases anaphylaxis, which requires immediate medical attention. Severe gastrointestinal upset, such as persistent vomiting or bloody diarrhea, should also be reported promptly. Patients should seek urgent care if any signs of a severe reaction develop.

Mycostatin (Ready Mixed) should not be used by individuals with a known hypersensitivity to nystatin or any other component of the formulation. Patients with severe renal impairment should use it only under medical supervision, and it is generally avoided in pregnant or breastfeeding women unless the potential benefit outweighs the risk.
