As he gave me my new prescription for Nystatin, he also gave me some new advice, which I think merits passing on. Double the time you swish the Nystatin in your mouth. This means go from a minimum of 5 minutes to a minimum of 10 minutes. Use a clock, minutes take longer to pass than you think. Use the Nystatin swish 3 times a day rather than 2 times a day.
Antibiotics favor the growth of yeast.
Therefore, the upping of the Nystatin when taking antibiotics is advised. Also, remember, if you have your own teeth, wait at least 5 minutes then brush your teeth after swishing with nystatin. This will remove the sugar in the nystatin from your teeth. There's a handy food processor for folks who have swallowing problems. Keep a eye out for it in stores like Target or K-Mart.
