Nystop Nystatin Powder, 15 gram Powder

Nystatin is a polyene antifungal antibiotic.

INTENDED USES: Indicated in the treatment of cutaneous or mucocutaneous mycotic infections caused by Candida albicans and other susceptible Candida species.

CLAIMED BENEFITS: Nystatin is an antibiotic which is both fungistatic and fungicidal in vitro against a wide variety of yeasts and yeast-like fungi. Nystatin acts by binding to sterols in the cell membrane of susceptible species resulting in a change in membrane permeability and the subsequent leakage of intracellular components.

Product Information

It is estimated that 10% to 20% of the world population is affected by fungal skin infections.[1] Antifungal skin care products come as ointment, solutions, lotions, powder, gel, spray or lacquer that help prevent and treat most topical skin irritation due to superficial fungal infections. These products help relieve itching, burning and irritation due to fungal infections including tinea cruris (jock itch), tinea corporis (ringworm), (athlete's foot) and Candida albicans (yeast). May contain antifungal drugs such as miconazole. May contain other substances such as zinc oxide to protect skin from exposure to urine and feces,  vitamins, oils and skin conditioners.
