Pharmacological action

Nystatin is a polyene antifungal antibiotic that is highly active against yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida. It has a fungicidal effect. In the structure of the antibiotic, there are a large number of double bonds with high tropism for sterol structures of the cytoplasmic membrane of fungi, which contributes to the incorporation of the drug molecule into the cell membrane and the formation of a large number of channels through which uncontrolled transport of electrolytes occurs. An increase in osmolarity inside the cell leads to its death.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity, impaired liver function, pancreatitis, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, pregnancy.
