Question 1

will nystatin cure an anal yeast infection? and what are symptoms of a anal yeast infection

Accepted Answer

Depends: Nystatin is a cream so will heal where is applied. If the candidosis involves the anal canal it is unlikely to be healed this way. Yeast infection will manifest as pruritus, burning, discomfort. All this symptoms can be cause by so many other conditions. So my advice is to go see your pcp as first intention.

Question 2

male yeast infection diagnosed , used nystatin and flucanzole once, symptoms when away, stopped the cream two days after, and now redness is back ?

Accepted Answer

Reinfection: Sometimes when an infection is treated reinfection occurs because the partner is not treated.  This can be fixed by communicating with your partner so all persons involved are treated.

Question 3

will nystatin oral tablet cure a vaginal yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Yes : It is an antifungal although not often used for this. Over the counter creams will work too.

Question 4

how long for nystatin triamcinolone acetonide cream to cure yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Only skin yeast infe: Nystatin triamcinolone cream should not be used for vaginal infection.It is a combination steroid and antifungal cream and sometimes used by some to treat yeast infection of skin and it helps control he inflammation while Nystatin controls the yeast infection.How long it takes depends on the severity and site of the infection.Can be few days to longer than a week.

Question 5

can i use nystatin ointment on my yeast infection? i'm a 55yr old female.

Accepted Answer

Yes..although: You can, however, if you are only using it externally, you may not fully treat a vaginal infection.  Try an over the counter vaginal treatment such as miconazole.  If this does not resolve in a week, see your physician, and be sure not to use anything for at least 3 days before being seen to present a clear picture.

Question 6

i have had a topical yeast infection for 6 months. i have been on nystatin and now xologel and it is getting worse. is there anything else i can do?

Accepted Answer

Visit your skin doc: Having a long standing yeast infection despite medication, i recommend visiting your family physician or dermatologist. Wishing you the very best!

Question 7

i  am on nystatin oral. i squish in mouth and swallow it.now my gyn is giving me fluteazole for yeast infection.should i continue to swallow nystatin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: While the oral antifungals work systemically, some times the topical meds like nyststin work better on the surface tissues like in your mouth or GI tract. I'd suggest that you discuss the use of the two drugs simultaeously with your doctor. Hope this helps and you feel better fast.

Question 8

recently prescribed with nystatin 100, 000 units vaginal tab for yeast infection. what are the side effects?

Accepted Answer

Usually none: Nystatin is used to treat a vaginal yeast infection and usually has no side effects other than a slightly increased vaginal secretion flow as it clears the yeast infection. It is not always effective for a cure. Can try diflucan; requires a prescription.

Question 9

is it ok to eat yogurt while taking nystatin tablets? (tablets prescribed for an external vaginal skin yeast infection)

Accepted Answer

Fluconazole: Yes. Fine to take together and should not cause a problem. Keep your yogurt high in probiotics and make sure it is an active culture yogurt.

Question 10

was prescribed nystatin tablets for external vaginal skin yeast infection (3 times a day for 21 days). how many days does it take to begin working?

Accepted Answer

Yeast infection : Should begin working within a day or two.  If you haven't had any change in your symptoms by day 3, or if they begin to worse whole on the prescription, give your healthcare provider a call.  It could be that it's not a yeast infection, or there might be another process going on as well, requiring a different treatment
