A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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.
