PHARMACOKINETICS
Nystatin is not absorbed from intact skin or mucous membrane.
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.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Nystatin Topical Powder is indicated in the treatment of cutaneous or
mucocutaneous mycotic infections
caused by _Candida albicans _and other susceptible _Candida_ species.
NYSTATIN TOPICAL POWDER IS NOT INDICATED FOR SYSTEMIC, ORAL,
INTRAVAGINAL OR OPHTHALMIC USE.
