I am using this medication because my doctor believes that I have an intestinal infection which is manifesting itself as acne-like lesions on my face. I have been treated with a number of different medications by dermatologists without any success. For about 2 weeks I have been swishing/drinking 1 t of Nystatin powder diluted in water 2 times daily. My skin is healing for the first time in over a year. The taste of this medication is terrible however and leaves a bitter after taste even after brushing my teath. I would highly recommend it for the modivated individual who has tried other medications without success. I must state however that I don't think that many people would continue the use of Nystatin for an extended period of time due to the taste. Published: October 27, 2007 ::

was on this medicine for quite a few months, probably 4 mos. or more off and on. the problem just didn't seem to go away. i am curious if others after finishing nystatin had still any white coating or spots on tongue still. also i would like to know if others still had no taste buds, limited taste buds, DRY MOUTH, tingling on tongue, and/or any other issues while taking it or even when finished with it. first ear/nose/throat doc. went to said it could take months to get taste buds back and tongue feel normal again. i am getting a 2nd opinion in a few weeks as my tongue still does not feel right and my normal doc. wants me to go to a 2nd ear/nose/throat doc. the dosing directions were very confusing, so maybe i didn't always do it correctly. first time and first bottle just swish and spit, a larger bottle later, after first one didn't work, directions to swish and also swallow. yuk. it would have been worth it if it had been successful but i feel it was not. pls. others share your thought and opinions on how your mouth/tongue felt/feels now that you are finished and any other particulars.

I have had issues with candida in the digestive track for years (including horrible smelling gas). When I began allergy treatments several years ago I went on it for 6+ months to help get my digestive tract back in line. When I take antibiotics I insist on taking oral Nystatin tablets (to eliminate the stinky gas). I wish I could get an unlimited Rx of tablets or powder to use as needed! Or at least get a Rx for 100 tablets at a time to use as needed. It is easier to get pain killers than oral Nystatin tablets - which doesn't make sense to me! Is there an OTC that will do the same thing but not cost a fortune? Published: March 19, 2008 ::

With being an asthmatic I have found that when my asthma flairs up and the usuage of more inhalers are being used that I get thrush. It does seem to work but I'm now thinking that my body would require longer than a week on this in order to kill off all of the Thrush that has gotten down into my throat and stomach. I now keep refills on my prescription instead of always having to go to my PCP everytime I get Thrush, it makes my tongue feel sore throat raw, taste buds are gone. Published: September 30, 2008 ::

Can you tell me what is in Nystatin that allows it to work so quickly. I took one dose after three days of suffering with my mouth and I was able to drink for the first time about 10 minutes later without much pain. I just would like to know what ingredients it has. Published: January 29, 2008 ::

I am taking this med for oral thrush (swish and swallow) following a week of antibiotics (Cipro and Flagyl). Only my tongue is affected and I never had pain, just a white tongue. After what I went thru with the antibiotics for an intestional bacterial infection, this med is a breeze. A little nausea and loose stools but I don't find the taste too unpleasant. I've been on it five days and just started noticing a reduction in the white of my tongue. Two days to go. Hey, if it's working and getting me back to normal, I'm thrilled.

The medication has not helped 100%, but it has greatly improved the thrush condition considerably... Keep the med in your mouth at least 20 to 30 seconds & swish around as much as possible then swallow... Published: September 05, 2008 ::
