Can i take charcoal capsules for a dies off reaction after nystatin? or will the charcoal pull out all of the nystatin?

Yeast "die off"?: I've never heard of "candida die off", but quick search suggests it's not real. People who believe in systemic candidiasis (a medical myth, except for rare cases of true candida sepsis) sometimes describe nonspecific symptoms after starting treatment, which they call "die off". It's for sure not an issue for vaginal yeast infection. Nystatin will be gone within a couple days, w/o charcoal.
