I was prescribed Nystatin 500,000 Units Oral Tablets for a persistent case of thrush. The doctor said it's a common antifungal and that it's safe to use because it doesn't get absorbed into the bloodstream, but I'm a little nervous about the side effects. Has anyone else used this? I'd love to know if it's worth the potential side effects or if there are other remedies I should consider. I've heard that it can cause some serious allergic reactions and other severe problems, like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, but those seem rare. I just want to make sure I'm prepared and informed. Any personal experiences or medical advice would be super helpful!
