Is there a difference between "Oral" & "Topical" Nystatin powder?

Hello,

Topical means you only apply it on your skin (epidermis) and oral is when you swallow a tablet or capsule for example.-

If the bottle says external use only you can not apply it in your mouth , eyes or inner ears and inside your nose.-Only on your epidermis... skin.-

Hope this helps.-

Take care.-

Yes, there is a difference.
Do not take the powder you have been given without clarification from your pharmacist.
