Nystatin Interactions
Nystatin is an antifungal medication commonly used to treat infections like oral thrush and intestinal candidiasis. It is generally well-tolerated and has minimal interactions with other medications. However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:
Probiotic Supplements: Taking probiotic supplements containing live yeast, such as Saccharomyces boulardii, alongside nystatin may reduce the effectiveness of the probiotic. This is because nystatin targets yeast, potentially diminishing the probiotic's benefits.
Brewer's Yeast: Similarly, consuming brewer's yeast while on nystatin treatment might lead to decreased efficacy of the yeast supplement, as nystatin can inhibit its activity.
Coccidioidin Skin Test: If you're scheduled for a coccidioidin skin test, inform your healthcare provider about your nystatin use. While no significant interactions are noted, it's essential for accurate test interpretation.
It's important to note that nystatin does not have known interactions with most foods or beverages. However, always inform your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you're currently taking. This ensures safe and effective use of nystatin and helps prevent potential interactions.

How do you know if nystatin is working?
One can determine if nystatin is working by observing a reduction in symptoms of the fungal infection it is treating.
