Nystan (Nystatin)

Nystatin binds to ergosterol in fungal cell membranes, creating pores that increase permeability. This disrupts essential ion balance and leads to leakage of cellular contents, ultimately inhibiting fungal growth or causing cell death.

The dosage of Nystan is individualized and set by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the type and severity of the infection, patient age, weight, and renal or hepatic function. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions precisely.

Nystan should be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding only if clearly needed and after consulting a qualified healthcare provider. The benefits must outweigh any potential risks to the fetus or infant, and the prescriber will determine suitability.

To order Nystan, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

The primary alternative to Nystan is the azole class, such as fluconazole, which is systemically absorbed and works by inhibiting fungal enzyme synthesis. Nystatin acts locally, has minimal systemic absorption, and is preferred for superficial or mucosal Candida infections where systemic exposure is not required.

Nystan should be stored below 25 °C in its original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, which could affect its stability and efficacy.

Nystan is administered orally. The suspension is usually measured with a calibrated spoon or syringe, then swallowed or held in the mouth and swished before swallowing, depending on the specific indication and prescriber’s instructions.

Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, urticaria or anaphylaxis, hepatotoxicity, severe colitis, and renal impairment. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms like difficulty breathing, jaundice, persistent abdominal pain, or reduced urine output.

Nystan is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Nystatin or any component of the formulation. Caution is also advised for patients with severe renal or hepatic dysfunction, and it should be avoided in those for whom an alternative therapy is more appropriate.
