No more nystatin nee: You do not need any more Nystatin if the thrush has cleared which was due to antibiotics.

Thrush: I assume this is oral thrush. If you are immunocompromised from a medicapl condition or from medications it takes longer to cure. See your doctor to reassess you.

Repeated oral thrush without being on antibiotics. Treatments with diflucan (fluconazole) and nystatin oral didn't help. Have MS and use flonase. Thank you.
Have a thrush infection. Prescribed 150 mg diflucan for 5 days, as the thrush didn't respond to nystatin. I take 1 mg alprazolam 2 x day, 6.25 mg carvedilol 2x day. Both are on the serious interaction list but doc says to take them all. Dangerous?
