"Do not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes after taking it. This stops you washing the medicine out of your mouth too soon."

My apologies, I got confused and thought you meant Nystatin liquid.
"For patients taking the lozenge (pastille) form of nystatin:
Nystatin lozenges (pastilles) should be held in the mouth and allowed to dissolve slowly and completely. This may take 15 to 30 minutes. Also, the saliva should be swallowed during this time. Do not chew or swallow the lozenges whole.
Do not give nystatin lozenges (pastilles) to infants or children up to 5 years of age. They may be too young to use the lozenges safely."
