Nystatin, ointment 100000 units/g 30 g

Nystatin is a polyene antifungal antibiotic that is highly active against yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida. It has a fungicidal effect.

The antibiotic has a large number of double bonds in its structure with high affinity to sterol structures of the cytoplasmic membrane of fungi, which promotes incorporation of the drug molecule into the cell membrane and formation of numerous channels through which uncontrolled transport of electrolytes occurs.

Elevated osmolarity inside the cell leads to cell death.

Indications

Candidiasis of mucous membranes (including the vagina, rectum and lower intestines), skin and internal organs; prevention of candidiasis during long-term treatment with antibacterial agents, especially in emaciated and weakened patients.
