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.
