What is the normal/average dosage used of Nystatin for yeast control?
I am currently on Ceftin (Generic) 500mg X3 a day and it's starting to get to my gut, mouth and tongue!
I am taking Theralac and Acidopholus.
Any suggestions? Is Nystatin a good way to go to help with yeast? I have an appt. w/ my PCP on Monday and was going to ask him to write me a prescription for it since I won't be seeing my LLMD for another month. Oh btw I'm a male!
Thanks!

4 pills 4 x a day and no sugar whatsoever in your diet

I take anywhere from 6 - 10 a day and that dose really helps!
My tongue is pinker then pink!
I was out of it for awhile and my tongue was not happy. Coconut oil helps, but nothing beats Nystatin. Plus I think the longer your on abx the more you may need later on.
When I first started abx I was taking only 1 -2 a day.

Yes, my pills are spaced throughout the day, 3 in the morning, 3 in the afternoon and then 4 at night. I asked my LLMD for the higher dose so I could cut back on my diflucan usage.
And yes, taking the higher dosage of Nystatin helps me very much.

The liquid contains SUGAR!!! Not a good idea...IMO.
Yes, you need a prescription. Nystatin is a good one to take because it does not affect the liver.

I have no choice, where I live they don't sell it in any other form. I eat a sugar free diet, so if I get a little sugar from this, I guess it's not so horrible. This stuff does make me constipated though. I think I've been constipated ONCE my whole life, but since taking Nystatin, it's beem almost 4 days that I can barely go. ugh!
