SUMMARY
Nystatin is an antimycotic polyene antibiotic obtained from
Streptomyces noursei.
Nystatin Vaginal Tablets, USP are effective for the local treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (moniliasis). The diagnosis should be confirmed, prior to therapy, by KOH smears and/or cultures. Other pathogens commonly associated with vulvovaginitis (Trichomonas and
Haemophilus vaginalis) do not respond to nystatin and should be ruled out by appropriate laboratory methods.
