INDICATIONS
Nystatin topical preparations are indicated in the treatment of cutaneous or mucocutaneous mycotic infections caused by Candida (Monilia) albicans and other Candida species.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Nystatin preparations should be applied liberally to affected areas twice a day or as indicated until healing is complete, Nystatin cream is usually preferred to nystatin ointment in candidiasis involving intertriginous area; very moist lesions, however, are best treated with nystatin topical powder.
