Candles for thrush with nystatin
Suppositories with nystatin are especially popular. Today, drugs with this component are produced for both oral and rectal use. One vaginal suppository contains 250,000 and 500,000 units.
It is produced with nystanin, 10 pieces in one package. It belongs to polyene antifungal antibiotics. It is capable of having a pronounced effect on yeast-like fungi, in particular the genus Candida. The effect of the component is that it is very destructive to fungi. Their death is caused by the incorporation of the drug molecule into the cell membrane. This leads to the formation of numerous channels through which electrolytes penetrate freely and uncontrollably. Due to this process, osmolarity inside the cell increases. This is what leads to the defeat and destruction of the fungus.
The most popular of this series is Nystanin. They are used for acute candidiasis. It is enough to introduce them into the genital tract 2 times a day, one piece at a time. It is advisable to supplement the treatment with ointment. The duration of therapy in this way does not exceed 10 days. Within a few days, significant relief occurs.
When treating with suppositories that include nystatin, you need to follow some rules. First of all, you should stop drinking alcohol. You cannot use suppositories during menstruation. For maximum effect, both partners should undergo treatment. Using a drug based on nystatin together with clotrimazole can reduce the activity of the latter. In order to determine the effectiveness of the therapy and understand whether these suppositories for thrush are suitable or not, laboratory tests of vaginal discharge are carried out at the end of the course.
