Is it allowed to take Nystatin during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

At latest update, relevant published data on excretion into breast milk were not found. Absorption through the skin and mucosa is nil, in addition it is known to be almost nil via gastrointestinal tract. Hence, it is unlikely its appearance in the mother's plasma or the milk. Authorized medication for use in small infants and newborns. It is recommended to avoid putting creams, gels and other products for local use that could contain paraffin (mineral oil) on the nipple, in order to keep from absorbing it by the child. WHO Model List of Essential Medicines (2002): compatible with breastfeeding.

I had white patches on my tongue and was given this med. I didnt see a big improvement. I tried oral rinses with half hydrogen peroxide and half water. That worked faster. Also i brushed my tongue with baking soda and scraped my tongue clean with a spoon afterwards. That cleared my problem in about a week. However there seems to be an underlying problem because after two months the thrush came back. Perhaps im eating too much sweets. Well that is my experience eith this medication.

I Suffered from thrush for 10 days or so after a 2 week ordeal with bronchitis. The steroids and antibiotics I was prescribed caused the thrush, also I am a diabetic. I tried every over the counter remedy but nothing worked. This medication was a miracle for me instantly. I found that it did have a mild numbing effect that gave me instant relief. The taste was not the greatest but anything is better than suffering with thrush.

I took this medicine for 3 days.The first day I felt a little nausea, 2nd day I had a lot of pain in my stomach and felt extremely ill. My tongue was twice the size it should have been. The 3rd day I took it once and said no more.
