What Is Nystatin Oral Suspension 100,000U/ML?

Nystatin oral suspension 100,000U/mL is a liquid antifungal medication taken by mouth to treat candidiasis of the oral cavity, commonly called thrush. It belongs to the polyene antifungal class and works by binding to the fungal cell membrane, causing the yeast cells to leak and die. Because very little nystatin is absorbed into the bloodstream, it acts mainly where it contacts the infection in the mouth. It is typically swished around the mouth and held there as long as possible before swallowing.
