Mikostat Oral Suspention

Mikostat Oral Suspention is a medication used to treat fungal infections in the mouth and throat. It contains the active ingredient NYSTATIN, which belongs to the class of antifungal medications. It is primarily used to treat oral candidiasis, which occurs due to the overgrowth of fungi in the mouth.

NYSTATIN works by binding to the fungal cell membrane, leading to increased membrane permeability and destruction of fungal cells. This helps reduce symptoms associated with fungal infections such as pain and irritation. Mikostat is considered effective in controlling fungal infections, contributing to an improved quality of life for patients suffering from this condition. It is commonly used in patients with weakened immune systems or those receiving antibiotic treatment.
