Nystatin Oral Suspension is a cherry-mint flavored suspension for oral administration. It contains 100,000 USP Nystatin Units per mL.

May also contain citric acid for pH adjustment.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION

Pharmacokinetics

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION

Gastrointestinal absorption of nystatin is insignificant. Most orally administered nystatin is passed unchanged in the stool. In patients with renal insufficiency receiving oral therapy with conventional dosage forms, significant plasma concentrations of nystatin may occasionally occur.

Microbiology

MICROBIOLOGY SECTION

Nystatin is both fungistatic and fungicidal in vitro  against a wide variety of yeasts and yeast-like fungi. Candida albicans  demonstrates no significant resistance to nystatin in vitro  on repeated subculture in increasing levels of nystatin; other Candida  species become quite resistant. Generally, resistance does not develop in vivo. Nystatin acts by binding to sterols in the cell membrane of susceptible Candida  species with a resultant change in membrane permeability allowing leakage of intracellular components. Nystatin exhibits no appreciable activity against bacteria, protozoa, or viruses.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

INDICATIONS & USAGE SECTION

Nystatin Oral Suspension is indicated for the treatment of candidiasis in the oral cavity.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

CONTRAINDICATIONS SECTION

The preparation is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its components.

PRECAUTIONS

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION

Pregnancy:

PREGNANCY SECTION

Teratogenic Effects Category C.

TERATOGENIC EFFECTS SECTION

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with nystatin oral suspension. It is also not known whether nystatin oral suspension can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Nystatin oral suspension should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

Nursing Mothers

NURSING MOTHERS SECTION

It is not known whether nystatin is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when nystatin is administered to a nursing woman.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION

Nystatin is well tolerated even with prolonged therapy. Oral irritation and sensitization have been reported (See PRECAUTIONS: General).

Gastrointestinal:  Diarrhea (including one case of bloody diarrhea), nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal upset/disturbances.

Dermatologic:  Rash, including urticaria has been reported rarely. Stevens-Johnson syndrome has been reported very rarely.

Other:  Tachycardia, bronchospasm, facial swelling, and nonspecific myalgia have also been reported.

OVERDOSAGE

OVERDOSAGE SECTION

Oral doses of nystatin in excess of five million units daily have caused nausea and gastrointestinal upset. There have been no reports of serious toxic effects or superinfections (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Pharmacokinetics).

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION

INFANTS: 2 mL (200,000 units) four times daily (in infants and young children, use dropper to place one-half of dose in each side of mouth and avoid feeding for 5 to 10 minutes). NOTE: Limited clinical studies in premature and low birth weight infants indicate that 1 mL four times daily is effective.

CHILDREN AND ADULTS: 4–6 mL (400,000 to 600,000 units) four times daily (one-half of dose in each side of mouth). The preparation should be retained in the mouth as long as possible before swallowing.

Continue treatment for at least 48 hours after perioral symptoms have disappeared and cultures demonstrate eradication of Candida albicans.
