Nystatin EP5
Whatsapp Order
Nystatin EP5 is a polyene antifungal antibiotic used to treat fungal infections caused primarily by Candida species. It acts by binding to ergosterol in fungal cell membranes, creating pores that lead to cell leakage and death. Nystatin EP5 is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations for topical, oral, and mucosal candidiasis treatment. It is non-absorbable from the gastrointestinal tract, making it effective for treating infections in the mouth, throat, and intestines.
Description
Nystatin EP5
Primary Uses
- Treatment of Candidiasis
- Effective against cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and oral thrush infections caused by Candida albicans and related species.
- Used in treating vaginal candidiasis.
- Topical Antifungal
- Incorporated in creams, ointments, powders, and sprays for skin fungal infections.
- Oral Suspension and Lozenge
- Used for oral candidiasis (thrush), especially in immunocompromised patients such as those with HIV/AIDS or undergoing chemotherapy.
- Gastrointestinal Fungal Infections
- Used orally for intestinal candidiasis, since it is not systemically absorbed.
Secondary Uses
- Prophylactic Use
- Prevention of fungal infections in patients on prolonged antibiotic or corticosteroid therapy.
- Veterinary Applications
- Used in animals for fungal infections of skin and mucous membranes.
- Combination Therapies
- Sometimes combined with other antifungals or antibiotics in complex infections.
- Dental Care
- Formulated in mouthwashes for managing oral fungal infections after dental procedures or in denture wearers.
