  • CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    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 concentrations 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 ointment is indicated in the treatment of cutaneous or mucocutaneous mycotic infections caused by Candida albicans and other susceptible Candida species.

    Nystatin ointment is not indicated for systemic, oral, intravaginal or ophthalmic use.

  • CONTRAINDICATIONS

    Nystatin ointment is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of their components.

  • PRECAUTIONS

    General

    Nystatin ointment should not be used for the treatment of systemic, oral, intravaginal or ophthalmic infections.

    If irritation or sensitization develops, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate measures taken as indicated. It is recommended that KOH smears, cultures, or other diagnostic methods be used to confirm the diagnosis of cutaneous or mucocutaneous candidiasis and to rule out infection caused by other pathogens.

  • INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS

    Patients using these medications should receive the following information and instructions:

    1.      The patient should be instructed to use these medications as directed (including the replacement of missed doses). These medications are not for any disorder other than that for which they are prescribed.

    2.  Even if symptomatic relief occurs within the first few days of treatment, the patient should be advised not to interrupt or discontinue therapy until the prescribed course of treatment is completed.

     

    3. If symptoms of irritation develop, the patient should be advised to notify the physician promptly.

    Laboratory Tests

    If there is a lack of therapeutic response, KOH smears, cultures, or other diagnostic methods should be repeated.

    Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    No long-term animal studies have been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of nystatin. No studies have been performed to determine the mutagenicity of nystatin or its effects on male or female fertility.

    Pregnancy: Teratogenic Effects

    Category C. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with any nystatin topical preparation. It also is not known whether these preparations can cause fetal harm when used by a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. Nystatin topical preparations should be prescribed for a pregnant woman only if the potential benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

    Nursing Mothers

    It is not known whether nystatin is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when nystatin is prescribed for a nursing woman.

    Pediatric Use

    Safety and effectiveness have been established in the pediatric population from birth to 16 years.
