Nystan Oral Suspension

Nystan Oral Suspension

Nystan Oral Suspension is specifically formulated to treat oral thrush (a fungal infection of the mouth and throat) in adults and children. This antifungal suspension contains Nystatin, which targets the Candida fungus responsible for oral thrush, alleviating symptoms like redness, soreness, and white patches in the mouth and throat.

Recommended Dosage & Usage

The suspension is administered by mouth, with the recommended dosage depending on age and infection severity. Adults typically use 1ml four times daily, while children may require adjusted doses based on age and weight. For optimal effectiveness, hold the suspension in the mouth briefly before swallowing to ensure thorough contact with affected areas. Treatment should continue for at least 48 hours after symptoms resolve to prevent recurrence.
