Nystatin is a polyene macrolide antifungal antibiotic medication used to treat infections caused by Candida, a type of yeast. It’s commonly prescribed for oral thrush, intestinal candidiasis, vaginal yeast infections, and fungal skin conditions. Available in many forms, it’s highly effective for localized treatment.

If you’re experiencing symptoms like white patches in your mouth, itchy rashes, or discomfort associated with yeast overgrowth, you can connect with a board-certified provider on Klarity. If appropriate, a prescription for nystatin may be issued within 24 hours.

Providers on Klarity Health are independent practitioners with clinical autonomy; a diagnosis, treatment, or prescription is not guaranteed.

About nystatin

What is nystatin?
Nystatin is an antifungal medication that's been used since its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1954 to treat infections caused by Candida species.

It's available in various forms to target different areas of the body:
- Oral suspension: Often prescribed for oral thrush, especially in infants, young children and immunocompromised patients.
- Tablets: Used to treat intestinal candidiasis.
- Cream and ointment: Applied to the skin to treat fungal infections like diaper rash or intertrigo (a rash in the skin folds for clarity).

Nystatin works by binding to the cell membranes of fungi, creating holes that allow the contents to leak out, effectively killing the fungus.

What does nystatin cost?

The cost of nystatin can vary based on the form and quantity prescribed. According to drugs.com, with its discount:
