"So I was given Nystan for Oral Thrush to try as fluconazole hadn't quite nipped it on the head. I was taking it as prescribed, I didn't think it tasted bad... Like Marzipan I thought. However, my tongue kept getting worse and worse and worse, I then began being sick. I stopped the Nystan as per GP orders and they wanted to swab my tongue. However 1 day in it has practically cleared up!"

"This stuff is awful. I took three bottles and the thrush didn’t go away. I had a terrible headache which is caused by nystatin that irritated the brain, had a stiff neck, and was sure I was going to the hospital. I have had this for three months and am now going to see an infectious disease doctor. I urge you to not use this."

"I developed oral thrush after being on antibiotics and methylprednisolone for oral surgery. I was prescribed nystatin rinse and was told to rinse and spit and do not swallow, which I followed. It almost immediately made me dizzy and lightheaded. My stomach was upset and gurgling. After the second time taking it, I had diarrhea 3 times. My surgeon couldn’t understand how I could get diarrhea and GI upset if I wasn’t swallowing… but I was. It was clear when my stool was orangey-yellow like nystatin. I was then advised to stop and try fluconazole. Currently taking that with no issues (only taken it twice) and improvement but still working on it."
