Understanding Nystatin: Your Gentle Warrior Against Fungal Infections
Nystatin is a trusted antifungal medication that has been helping Filipinos treat oral thrush, skin yeast infections, and diaper rash for decades. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition, you can be confident this is a government-approved, evidence-based treatment that is safe enough for infants, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers.
How Nystatin Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine fungal cells are like tiny balloons with a protective outer layer. Nystatin acts like a "smart needle" that specifically targets these fungal cell membranes—it binds to sterols (a type of fat) in the fungal cell wall, creating tiny holes that cause the fungal cells to leak and die. The best part? It works by:
- Staying local: When taken orally, Nystatin is not absorbed into your bloodstream—it stays in the mouth and digestive tract where it's needed, then passes out in stool
- Targeting only fungi: It has no effect on bacteria, viruses, or human cells—making it extremely safe with minimal side effects
- Working on contact: It kills fungi on contact, providing relief from itching, burning, and discomfort quickly

- Special Note: If symptoms worsen or don't improve after 14 days, contact our doctor during teleconsultation as you may need a different treatment
