Just prescribed Nystatin Oral Susp 100000u/ml 60ml for mouth thrush – anyone else had to use this?
I've just been prescribed Nystatin Oral Susp 100000u/ml 60ml for a yeast infection in my mouth and throat. My doctor said it's an antifungal medicine that works by stopping the growth of the yeast. I'm a bit nervous about the side effects, especially the severe ones. Has anyone else had to use this? What was your experience like? Any tips or things I should be aware of? I'm hoping to hear from others who have been through this.

I had to use this for a while after a nasty case of thrush. It's not the most pleasant tasting stuff, but it did the job. Just be consistent with your doses and you should be fine!
Be prepared for some stomach issues. I had diarrhea and an upset stomach for a few days, but it went away. Just stick with it and you'll be good.
I had mouth irritation and a fast heartbeat when I took this. I stopped taking it and my symptoms went away. It's better to be safe than sorry. If something feels off, trust your instincts and talk to your doctor.
I used to manage antifungal infections in a hospital lab, and Nystatin is generally pretty safe and effective. But if you get any serious side effects, stop taking it and call your doctor immediately.
I had to take this a few years back and had no issues at all. It worked great and I didn't notice any side effects. Just make sure you finish the entire course, even if you feel better.
This stuff saved me from a nasty bout of thrush. I was hesitant at first, but it worked wonders. Just follow the dosage instructions and you'll be fine.
I had some mouth irritation, but nothing too bad. Just make sure you rinse your mouth out after taking it. It helped a lot with the taste and made it easier to swallow.
I had a severe reaction to this stuff. I got hives and had trouble breathing. I ended up in the ER. If you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, get to a doctor ASAP. It's not worth the risk.
I've had to use this for my kid; it's not fun for either of us. But it worked, and the side effects were mild. Just be prepared for the taste and the consistency. It's not the most pleasant thing to swallow, but it's better than alternatives.
