Light yellow powder with a specific odor. Bitter taste. Practically insoluble in water, very little in alcohol. Hygroscopic. Decomposes when exposed to light high temperature, air oxygen. Easily destroyed in acidic and alkaline environments and under the influence of oxidizing agents. Molecular mass 926,13.

Activity is expressed in action units (AU).

Pharmacology

pharmachologic effect- antifungal, fungistatic.

It has a large number of double bonds in its structure, which determines the high tropism of the antibiotic for the sterols of the cell membrane of fungi. As a result, the molecule is embedded in the cell membrane with the formation of many channels that facilitate the uncontrolled transport of water, electrolytes and non-electrolytes. The cell loses its resistance to external osmotic forces, which leads to lysis.

Renders in vitro fungistatic and fungicidal effect against yeast and yeast-like fungi, especially Candida spp. ( incl. Candida albicans), and Aspergillus spp. At local application acts mainly on Candida spp. Inactive against bacteria, protozoa, Trichomonas vaginalis, Gardnerella vaginalis and viruses. Tolerance to nystatin in sensitive fungi develops very slowly.

Animal studies to assess the potential carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of nystatin and the effect on fertility have not been conducted.

When taken orally, it is practically not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Almost completely excreted unchanged in feces. Does not accumulate.

Use of the substance Nystatin

Prevention of the development of candidiasis in long-term treatment antibacterial drugs, especially in depleted and weakened patients; candidiasis of the mucous membranes (including the vagina, rectum and lower intestines) and skin.

Pathogenic and opportunistic fungi cause diseases that are widespread today. To treat such diseases (mycoses), various antifungal drugs are produced, which are used in accordance with the sensitivity of certain pathogens of fungal infections to them.

How do nystatin tablets work?

Nystatin tablets, when taken orally, act mainly locally, on the mucous membrane gastrointestinal tract, then most of nystatin is excreted in feces. A small part of nystatin taken orally is absorbed into the blood, therefore, to treat fungal infections of other internal organs, such as the respiratory system, it must be taken in very large doses. Today this is considered inappropriate, since there are other, more effective antifungal drugs.

Nystatin acts mainly against fungi of the genus Candida, so it is used to treat candidiasis (candidomycosis) - fungal infections caused by this type of fungus. Nystatin has an affinity for certain substances that are part of the cytoplasmic membranes of cells of fungi of the genus Candida; it enters the membranes and disrupts their permeability, which contributes to the suspension of vital activity and destruction of fungi. Sometimes, during the treatment of candidiasis, resistance (immunity) of the pathogens of this fungal infection to nystatin develops, this dangerous complication, since fungi that are insensitive to the drug begin to quickly multiply and spread throughout the body. In this case, immediate replacement of nystatitis with another antifungal agent is required.

How does candidiasis of the digestive organs manifest?

Candidiasis can develop in any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth and pharynx to the rectum. The entire gastrointestinal tract is often affected.

Candidiasis of the oral mucosa (thrush or candidal stomatitisStomatitis - to keep your breath fresh oral cavity) is manifested by redness and swelling of the mucous membranes, on which white cheesy deposits appear. The same plaques can occur on the tongue (candidal glossitis), as well as on the walls of the pharynx (candidal pharyngitis) and on palatine tonsils. When the pharynx is affected, it becomes difficult for the patient to swallow. Most often, candidal stomatitis occurs in infants and elderly people who have decreased immunity.

With candidiasis of the esophagus and stomach, heartburn, nausea, and loss of appetite appear. Vomiting often develops, and white crumbs or even films can be seen in the vomit, depending on the degree of damage to the mucous membranes by the fungus.

Intestinal candidiasis is manifested by flatulence - bloating of the intestines due to increased gas formation. This happens because, if present in the intestines large quantity fungi disrupt the process of food digestion. Debilitating, long-term diarrhea also occurs, as a result of which the patient is deprived of part of the substances necessary for metabolism. Metabolism: the basis of the life activity of all living things. food ingredients. The stool usually contains mucus, and there may also be streaks of blood.

Nystatin tablets in the treatment of candidiasis of the digestive system

Since nystatinNystatin will help with candidiasis It acts mainly locally, on the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract; it is often used for candidiasis of the digestive organs. If there is a suspicion of bronchopulmonary candidiasis or urinary systems, then other antifungal drugs are used.

For candidal stomatitis, glossitis and pharyngitis, nystatitin tablets can be sucked - this will be more effective than simply swallowing. You can dissolve a tablet (500,000 units) in this way six to eight times a day. For young children, the tablets are ground and powdered on the mucous membranes several times a day, using one to one and a half tablets of 250,000 units per day.

For candidiasis of the esophagus, stomach and intestines, nystatin is prescribed orally to adults, one or two tablets (500,000 units per tablet) four times a day for at least two weeks. Children are prescribed a lower dose depending on age.

Side effects

Nystatin tablets, when taken orally, can have a negative effect on the liver, so they should not be used for liver diseases that impair its function. Nystatin should not be used for inflammatory processes in the pancreasDiabetes and the pancreas - things you need to know (pancreatitis), as well as with peptic ulcer stomach and duodenum. And, of course, nystatin tablets are not prescribed if you are hypersensitive to this drug.

Nystatin is non-toxic and well tolerated when taken orally. Sometimes when taking it, phenomena such as decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may occur. Allergic reactions are also possible.

Nystatitin tablets are still used today to treat candidiasis.

Galina Romanenko

Damage to the mucous membrane in the mouth, which leads to the formation of ulcers and blisters, indicates the presence of a disease such as stomatitis. Reason for inflammatory process can become fungi, viruses and bacteria that have penetrated both from inside the body and from outside.

Nystatin - medicinal product, which is prescribed exclusively by a qualified specialist for the treatment of fungal stomatitis. The causative agent in this case is fungi belonging to the genus Candida.

Nystatin is available in the form of tablets, ointments or drops; there are also suspensions on sale that are intended for rinsing. Tablets, as a rule, are packaged in packs of ten or twenty pieces, ointment from fifteen to twenty grams in a tube, drops of five milliliters, suspension is dosed in two hundred thousand units.

About the medication in the context of stomatitis treatment

Fungal stomatitis (candidiasis or thrush) is observed in both adults and children, as well as in newborns. Even small doses of Nystatin can slow down further development thrush, and systematic therapy should completely destroy the fungus.

To treat stomatitis, nystatin ointment is actively used, which destroys the permeability of fungal cells, so the main bacterial components are destroyed.

Due to the fact that Nystatin neutralizes fungal infections, it is recommended only for candidal stomatitis of the oral cavity.

The molecule of the active component of the drug consists of double bonds, which causes the penetration of the active element into the cells of the fungus. Then the electrolytic process intensifies, causing the fungal cell to be destroyed. There is virtually no resistance or resistance.

In addition to the fact that the medication is used in the treatment of candidal stomatitis, it is also effective as a preventive measure for this disease.

IN for preventive purposes Nystatin is effective in preventing the development

candidiasis

in cases where fairly long-term treatment with drugs such as Penicillin, tetracycline antibiotics, Neomycin, Levomycetin and others is expected.

Instructions for use - doses and intended course of treatment

When treating candidal stomatitis in adults, Nystatin tablets are used, which need to be dissolved; ointment is used less often. It is recommended to take the tablets after meals, maximum four times a day.

The ointment is applied to the damaged area twice a day, the course of treatment lasts until the pathological plaque in the oral cavity completely disappears.

Often, treatment of stomatitis involves taking other medications. When taking Nystatin and Tetracycline simultaneously, it is achieved antimicrobial effect. When the drug is combined with bactericidal antibiotics, the effect of the latter has been proven to decrease.

Nystatin also reduces the effect of indirect anticoagulants, Clotrimazole and oral contraceptives.

Therapy for young patients

The most convenient solution for children is an aqueous solution, for which you need to dissolve a Nystatin tablet (two hundred and fifty thousand units) in a glass of water.

Older children can be offered tablets for oral administration. In this case, only a doctor can calculate the exact dosage based on how the body reacts to the drug in question.

The full dose, taken after meals and washed down with plenty of water, is divided into several doses. Treatment of stomatitis in children takes a maximum of two weeks. In addition to the pills, children are also prescribed a five percent ointment, which is applied three times throughout the day using cotton swabs.

Until the age of fourteen, a child can be given tablets to dissolve. At orally Nystatin must be taken into account the frequency, duration of the course, dosage and characteristics of the child’s body.

Local treatment is also possible with the help of an ointment, which should cover all foci of infection. Penetrating into the gastrointestinal tract, the ointment is not absorbed; accordingly, it is excreted in its original state.

Treatment of infants

Stomatitis in infancy is treated with ready-made aqueous solutions of Nystatin, drops, or mixed with vitamin B12 if local treatment is necessary. In this option, one tablet is ground into powder and combined with vitamin B12.

After this, the finger is moistened with the prepared homogeneous mixture, which must first be wrapped in a sterile bandage. The plaque area in the mouth is then treated.

The procedure for treating the baby’s oral cavity should be carried out four to five times a day after meals. Upon completion, you must wait thirty minutes without drinking or water.

Experienced word

The use of Nystatin for the treatment of candidal stomatitis is quite popular, as evidenced by numerous positive reviews, available online.

Nystatin ointment is always at hand, since I have two children. It is quite easy to apply, especially since very little is required. The main thing is to avoid overdose and follow the instructions.

Natalya, 30 years old

The medication is well tolerated and costs a penny, especially since it really helps with stomatitis, tested from my own experience.

Svetlana, 39 years old

For as long as I can remember, stomatitis has always bothered me. I tried the most advertised and expensive medications, but later I learned about Nystatin and was simply amazed at the speed of its action and, importantly, its low cost.

Egor, 34 years old

Question:“By all indications, there is a fungal infection of the upper respiratory tract after using antibiotics for bronchitis (I had my sputum tested). The instructions for use of nystatin indicate only oral administration without chewing. Although several years ago the doctor recommended that I dissolve them. Question - this is acceptable (although very disgusting :-))) and more effective for the bronchi than just swallowing. Sincerely"

Good afternoon.

Nystatin

has low absorption in the intestines and is used as a means of local action. If the candidiasis lesion is localized in the oral cavity, the tablets must be resorbed. If necessary, influence digestive tract The tablets are swallowed whole, do not chew. The effectiveness of the drug for fungal infections of the upper respiratory tract is questionable due to the local effect of nystatin. Otherwise it must be a nystatin aerosol or, most likely, another antifungal drug. Surely the instructions for the drug do not indicate the use of nystatin for respiratory candidiasis. Don't study

self-medication

And consult a doctor. It is possible that you have residual effects from bronchitis.

Not everyone knows what Nystatin tablets should be taken for. Instructions for antibiotics usually state that to prevent the development of fungal diseases, after a course of treatment you need to take agents that have a fungistatic effect.

Therefore, those who, out of ignorance, hope to get rid of, for example, ureaplasmosis with the help of Nystatin, are only wasting their time. Causing quite serious harm to your body - not so much by taking unnecessary medicine, but by the lack of necessary treatment.
