Q. What is Nistin? What can it be used for?
Nistin is an antifungal medicine which is used for the treatment against a wide variety of yeasts and yeast-like fungi. Nistin exerts its antifungal action by damaging the cell membrane of fungi like Candida, thereby stopping its growth. It is used for the prevention and treatment of Candidal infections of the oral cavity, esophagus and intestinal tract. Most commonly, it is used to treat oral thrush (affecting inner lining of mouth) caused by Candida albicans. Nistin is not active against bacteria, protozoa, or viruses.

Q. Does Nistin treat ringworms?
Nistin is not approved for the treatment of ringworm. Nistin is more effective against yeast infections as compared to the fungus which causes ringworm. Antifungal agents like terbinafine, fluconazole, clotrimazole, miconazole can be used to treat ringworm infections.

Q. Can Nistin be used on the face?
Yes, Nistin can be used on face, but do not use this medicine without consulting your doctor. Take care not to apply it in or around your eyes. Also remember that it is ineffective against many common fungal infections and active only against yeast infections. Additionally, it should not be used on bacterial or virus infections.
