Nystatin is a polyene antifungal agent used primarily for treatment of Candida infections of the oropharynx, nonesophageal mucous membranes, gastrointestinal tract, and skin. It is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract when given orally, so effects are largely local. Formulations include oral tablets 500,000 units; oral suspension 100,000 units/…
