Buy nystatin online for oral thrush

Request generic nystatin oral suspension from The Care Pharmacy after an online consultation. This listing is for one 30ml bottle. Check the current price above; your prescriber decides whether nystatin and the requested quantity are suitable for your symptoms.

What is supplied?

We supply generic nystatin, rather than guaranteeing a Nystan-branded bottle. The manufacturer, packaging and inactive ingredients may vary. Check the label and leaflet with your medicine for its concentration and directions. Ask the pharmacy if an ingredient or formulation matters to you.

How nystatin liquid is used

Nystatin is an antifungal, not an antibiotic. For oral thrush, the liquid needs contact with the affected areas in the mouth before it is swallowed. Measure each dose accurately and follow the instructions in the Directions tab and on your prescription.

When should symptoms improve?

Improvement may begin after around two days, but continue for the prescribed course even if your mouth feels better. Seek advice if symptoms worsen or have not improved within seven days. Repeated episodes need a review of the possible cause, rather than repeated treatment without assessment.

Information to include in your consultation

Describe the mouth changes, soreness and how long they have been present. Tell us about other medicines, recent antibiotics, dentures and any steroid inhaler use. Ask a healthcare professional about symptoms in a baby or child before requesting treatment. Difficulty swallowing, severe symptoms or feeling unwell need prompt clinical advice.

Check the price and next step

The displayed price is for a bottle, not a guaranteed complete course. The dose and duration determine how much is needed. Complete the consultation accurately so the prescriber can review your request. Use our pharmacy contact details if you need help with the product information.

Further information: NHS nystatin guidance. Always read the leaflet supplied with your medicine.

Directions

Follow your prescription for the dose and duration. Shake well and measure with an oral syringe, medicine spoon or dropper, not a kitchen teaspoon. Take after food, keep it in your mouth for at least 30 seconds if possible, then swallow. Avoid food and drink for 30 minutes afterwards.

Do not mix the dose into food or drink. Continue for as long as prescribed; treatment commonly continues for two days after symptoms clear. Ask the pharmacist about missed doses or if you are unsure how to measure it.

Ingredients

The active ingredient is nystatin. Concentration, sugar content, flavourings and other ingredients must be checked against the generic bottle supplied. Tell the pharmacy about allergies or intolerances before ordering.

Warnings

Do not use if allergic to nystatin or another ingredient. Tell your prescriber about other medicines, medical conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Seek advice for worsening or recurrent symptoms, difficulty swallowing, or no improvement within seven days. Call 999 for swelling of the mouth or throat or breathing difficulty.

Side Effects

Nystatin liquid can cause nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea. Speak to a pharmacist if symptoms persist or are troublesome. Serious allergic reactions are rare but require emergency help. Read the supplied leaflet for the full list.

Storage

Follow the temperature and after-opening instructions on the supplied bottle. Keep the lid secure and the medicine away from children. Do not use beyond expiry; return leftovers to a pharmacy.
