Nystatin:
Tetrex-F (Nystatin), USP is an antimycotic polyene antibiotic obtained from Streptomyces noursei. Its structural formula:
Tetrex-F (Nystatin) Tablets USP contain the inactive ingredients: Corn Starch, Povidone, Compressible Sugar, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Sodium Starch Glycolate, Talc, Magnesium Stearate, Purified Water, and Coloring.
Structural formula for Tetrex-F (Nystatin)
Gastrointestinal absorption of Tetrex-F is insignificant. Most orally administered Tetrex-F (Nystatin) is passed unchanged in the stool. In patients with renal insufficiency receiving oral therapy with conventional dosage forms, significant plasma concentrations of Tetrex-F (Nystatin) may occasionally occur.
Tetrex-F (Nystatin) is both fungistatic and fungicidal in vitro against a wide variety of yeasts and yeast like fungi. Candida albicans demonstrates no significant resistance to Tetrex-F (Nystatin) in vitro on repeated subculture in increasing levels of Tetrex-F (Nystatin); other Candida species become quite resistant. Generally, resistance does not develop in vivo. Tetrex-F (Nystatin) acts by binding to sterols in the cell membrane of susceptible Candida species with a resultant change in membrane permeability allowing leakage of intracellular components. Tetrex-F (Nystatin) exhibits no appreciable activity against bacteria, protozoa, or viruses.
Tetrex-F (Nystatin) tablets are intended for the treatment of non-esophageal mucus membrane gastrointestinal candidiasis.
Tetrex-F (Nystatin) tablets are contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of their components.
This medication is not to be used for the treatment of systemic mycoses. Discontinue treatment if sensitization or irritation is reported during use.
No long-term animal studies have been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential. There also have been no studies to determine mutagenicity or whether this medication affects fertility in males or females.
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Tetrex-F. It is also not known whether Tetrex-F (Nystatin) can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Tetrex-F (Nystatin) should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
It is not known whether Tetrex-F (Nystatin) is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Tetrex-F (Nystatin) is administered to a nursing woman.
Tetrex-F is well tolerated even with prolonged therapy. Oral irritation and sensitization have been reported (see PRECAUTIONS, General).
Diarrhea (including one case of bloody diarrhea), nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal upset/disturbances.
Rash, including urticaria has been reported rarely. Stevens-Johnson syndrome has been reported very rarely.
Tachycardia, bronchospasm, facial swelling, and nonspecific myalgia have also been rarely reported.
Oral doses of Tetrex-F (Nystatin) in excess of five million units daily have caused nausea and gastrointestinal upset. There have been no reports of serious toxic effects of superinfections (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacokinetics).
The usual therapeutic dosage is one to two tablets (500,000 to 1,000,000 units Tetrex-F (Nystatin)) three times daily. Treatment should generally be continued for at least 48 hours after clinical cure to prevent relapse.
