How Does Nystan Oral Suspension Work?

Nystan oral suspension is an antifungal medication that is used to treat infections caused by certain types of fungi. The active ingredient in Nystan oral suspension is nystatin, which works by inhibiting the growth of the fungi. It does this by interfering with the production of a substance called ergosterol, which is a major component of fungal cell membranes. This makes the cell membranes unstable and causes the fungi to die, thus relieving the body of all the symptoms of the infection.
