Pharmacokinetics

Microbiology
Nystatin is an antibiotic which is both fungistatic and fungicidal in
vitro against a wide
variety of yeasts and yeast-like fungi, including Candida albicans, C.
parapsilosis, C.
tropicalis, C. guilliermondi, C. pseudotropicalis, C. krusei,
Torulopsis glabrata,
Tricophyton rubrum, T. mentagrophytes.
Nystatin acts by binding to sterols in the cell membrane of
susceptible species resulting
in a change in membrane permeability and the subsequent leakage of
intracellular
components. On repeated subculturing with increasing levels of
nystatin, Candida
albicans does not develop resistance to nystatin. Generally,
resistance to nystatin does
not develop during therapy. However, other species of Candida (C.
tropicalis, C.
guilliermondi, C. krusei, and C. stellatoides) become quite resistant
on treatment with
nystatin and simultaneously become cross resistant to amphotericin as
well. This
resistance is lost when the antibiotic is removed.
Nystatin exhibits no appreciable activity against bacteria, protozoa,
or viruses.
Nystatin Cream USP is indicated in the treatment of cutaneous or
mucocutaneous
mycotic infections caused by Candida albicans and other susceptible
Candida species.
Nystatin Cream USP is not indicated for systemic, oral, intravaginal
or ophthalmic use.
Nystatin Cream USP is contraindicated in patients with a history of
hypersensitivity to
any of its co
