For Oral Thrush "I've been using Nystatin suspension to cope with the oral thrush I get from all of the Prednisone I have to take. I've got systemic lupus and my kidneys went and started to fail. The prednisone is a life saver for me, but the thrush hurts. Thanks to the nystatin, the thrush is coming under control. My only gripe is that the nystatin is starting to make me nauseous, really nauseous. I don't need EXTRA nausea. Between the lupus and the prednisone, my stomach is already hooped. I DO love how fast the nystatin got started on giving me relief from the thrush, though. I can sing again!"

For Oral Thrush "I have COPD, and between prednisone and all the inhalers I use I always have thrush on my tongue. This week the thrush went into my throat. It was awful. My doctor prescribed nystatin and within 2 days my throat stopped hurting and my tongue is clearing and feels much better. Nystatin works great for me the only had side is you lose your taste buds while you're using it. They do come back once medicine is fine though. I can deal with temporary losing tastebuds as long as my tongue and throat don't hurt."

For Oral Thrush "For all patients using steroidal inhalers (prednisone, flovent, beclovent etc.) it is recommended that the patient rinse their mouth thoroughly after each dose. I'm surprised the doctor or pharmacist didn't tell this to the patient who wrote the first review."

Nilstat (nystatin) for Oral Thrush "The Nilstat cleared up the white spots in my mouth within 2 days and my throat was less sore so that I could start eating solid food for the first time since radiation treatment.(10 weeks) On the third bottle but have not fully cleared all the thrush from my throat. I have had Chemo. radiation and heaps of antibiotics so I am a hard case for it.."

For Oral Thrush "I developed oral thrush after taking the notoriously problematic antibiotic known as Metronidazole and was prescribed Nystatin liquid for the thrush. after swishing and swallowing this medicine 3 times a day for a couple days, I notice I’ve started to have sudden and painful urges to have a bowel movement and when I do, it smells like rotten eggs and has an odd consistency. This is the only side effect of the Nystatin I’m experiencing which has already made a noticeable difference in my thrush but I’m ready to be done taking this medicine. The cramps and bathroom trips are inconvenient and embarrassing. I notice the longer I leave the Nystatin in my mouth and gargle with it, the better it works in clearing up my tongue. It also helps to wait as long as possible to eat/drink after taking Nystatin."

For Oral Thrush "I had to take this medication for oral thrush after a couple of rounds of antibiotics. Unfortunately the oral nystatin suspension gave me a terrible allergic reaction. I developed a very itchy body rash (hives) so I never got to find out if the nystatin would have worked for the oral thrush."

For Oral Thrush "Only on day 2 but see a huge improvement and my oral thrush and it was pretty bad, was on roof of mouth, tonsils, sides of mouth, gums and tongue... Taste was not bad but they put sucrose in it or some sweetener which I didn't care for..yeast thrives off of sugar....but hey its working."

For Oral Thrush "I just started taking the oral Nystatin medication. I just read all the comments regarding not having success with it. I just caught myself taking a sip of water 5 minutes after I swallowed it. I could see that being an issue. Subconsciously I was thinking how awful it tasted and just grabbed the water. I'm thinking for it to work to the full affect you can't drink anything for 30 minutes otherwise I'd be flushing my mouth and not giving the Nystatin time to work on my tongue and throat. Just my two cents. One last thing I don't like the taste of it going down and the after taste hangs there for a bit."

For Oral Thrush "My 91 yr old father has an oral thrush ulcer on the side of his tongue for nearly three weeks and thrush in his throat from a heavy dose of antibiotics (that started with an M, can’t remember the name) It took a different hospital facility to figure out his Dx. He’s been using the Nystatin now for 4 days and it has made no difference. Today will be day 5. I’m praying it kicks in, he’s wasting away as he can’t eat or talk."

For Oral Thrush "I am pregnant and have had thrush for almost a month. Doc prescribed me Nystatin and after a couple days a lot of pain went away. However, I still have fungus on the tongue and it tastes awful. When will this Nystatin fully get rid of it!?! Trying every natural remedy to avoid Diflucan- but it isn’t getting rid of it :/ :("

For Oral Thrush "Was prescribed Nystan for oral thrush 24 hours ago, so far taken it 6 times, 1ml 4 times a day. Alarmed at all the negative comments and side effects. Not noticed any improvement so far but maybe it's too soon. I did find that swilling a spoonful of natural greek yoghurt seemed to help far more than the Nystan."

For Oral Thrush "nystatin was prescribed for me to take 4 times a day to wash my mouth. I have completed first prescription 2 days ago. No effect. After reading reviews looks like it is not working for most of the people."

For Oral Thrush "I think that it has turned my lips black, unless there's something else wrong. I don't know. I love the medication. It really works and right away. My mouth, throat, and chest stopped hurting after taking it twice. I have coughed up blood before I started this medication. My cough is better also. I just can't figure out why my lips are black. I go to the doctor this week for a biopsy, so, I'll show the doctor."

For Oral Thrush "I don't want to give this medicine 1 star I tried using this medication more than once to get rid of my oral thrush and it didn't do NOTHING!! IT MADE THE THRUSH WORSE !! So I even tried yeast pills to get rid of it sometimes they worked and other times they didn't.. what makes me mad is I just found out that the Nystatin has sugar in it that's why the thrush wouldn't go away .. sugar feeds the thrush and makes it worse. I still have more of this medicine and I'm not going to use it, it's nothing but a joke. Thankfully I have a friend who's a nurse that told me to use milk of magnesia and guess what WORKS!! I read reviews about the milk of magnesia and all the reviews were 5.stars.. see most doctors won't tell us about this because they want people to come back and give us medications that DON'T WORK! So if I were you do what I did when it comes to getting bad thrush use the milk of magnesia the name brand it works."

For Oral Thrush "I’ve been taking Nystan for 3 weeks and prior to this over the counter medication for oral thrush following numerous prescriptions of antibiotics for UTIs . So far there has been little improvement if any. So back to GP for another review. Going to try Apple cider vinigar, which I’ve heard can be effective."

For Oral Thrush "I have oral thrush from being on antibiotics and my family doctor prescribed me nystatin 4 times a day and to swallow 5 ml each time. On the second day I ended up in the er due to rapid heart rate. Once I stopped swallowing this med. And it was out of my system my heart rate returned to normal and so did my blood pressure. Was very scary. Don't recommend drinking this medication!!!!"

For Oral Thrush "My baby is 17 months and had his first “sick visit” due to thrush. We’re only in day 2 and all of the white is gone from his mouth already and he seems like he’s not hurting anymore. His appetite isn’t normal yet, but apparently it messes with your tastebuds."

For Oral Thrush "I get thrush every couple of months. I use steroid inhalers and am a type 1 diabetic. I use it 4-5 times a day. I hold it in my mouth and gargle and swish for as long as possible and I swallow it. It has always works for me. Sometimes I have to go through 2 bottles, but never has a problem."

For Oral Thrush "I am very experienced with oral thrush mostly due to corticosteroid inhaler use. I've had this bout of thrush now for two months. I'm on my second bottle of Nystatin and I am still not better. I told my primary doctor it does not help me but he insists on prescribing this stuff every time. I see my pulmonologist soon and I will ask him for the troches as I find I have better results with this medication. Plus the taste is so much more tolerable!! Nystatin is gag worthy!! For the whole day and night I have such a sour taste in my mouth. It may work for some but not me."

For Oral Thrush "I'm 47 years old and never even heard of oral "thrush". Went to see my Doc today with the worst cough and horrible sore throat. Yep, he said I had this thrush, put me on Nystatin and one other antibiotic. I mainly came in here to see other comments on how quickly this stuff works. I can't get over how bad my throat hurts and just pray this medicine works."

For Oral Thrush "I’m on my 5th bottle of nystatin and it hasn’t been all that great. I quit smoking and drinking just so my immune system could get better and still no result. On top of that I been eating lots of food with vitamin and no sugar. And I got balanitis"

For Oral Thrush "Had the same situation with antibiotic metronidazole with keflex. Keflex had plenty of times no reaction when other antibiotic metronidazole was given by ER doctor I had a thrush reaction on mouth. Then nystatin liquid worked, but had to use virgin cononut with a cotton swab to alleviate later to rebuild my gut to down size the thrush colony in my body."

For Oral Thrush "I had a mouth thrush infection which came after UTI treatment macrobid. That became bronchitis for 2 months long and coughing until I was almost hospitalized. Then a sore throat for 3 months left sided only. Various tests said nil. I have hx of childrens orphan cancer so I am with scarred lungs. Then another Round antibiotics z pack for my throat no effect. Then another UTI and sulpha drug 5 days and in between 7 days macrobid. I am now consulting naturopathy as I got thrush mouth sores again!! Now I am on nystatin day 3 and start seeing improvements in my tongue. So I am hopeful."

For Oral Thrush "I think the medication is working fine until when I had it then a few minutes I brushed my tooth. Omg my tongue started to get numb and I have issue breathing. So don’t use it right before or after u plan to brush your teeth. My tongue would feel half numb. Not a good feeling."
