Product Information / Press Release Nystatin Topical Powder is indicated in the treatment of cutaneous or mucocutaneous mycotic infections caused by Candida (Monilia) albicans and other Candida species.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The powder should be applied to candidal lesions two or three times daily until lesions have healed. For fungal infection of the feet caused by Candida species, the powder should be dusted freely on the feet as well as in shoes and socks.
Nystatin Topical Powder does not stain skin or mucous membranes and provides a simple, convenient means of treatment. The cream is usually preferred to the ointment in candidiasis involving intertriginous areas; very moist lesions, however, are best treated with topical dusting powder.
Nystatin Topical Powder USP is supplied in 15 gram plastic squeeze bottles
providing, in each gram, 100,000 USP nystatin units.
