Hello
I'd like to know if it has the same risks as antibiotics.
When using antibiotics, you run the risk of leaving stronger/resistant bacteria, so you may not solve the problem, or end up worse after discontinuation. I'd like to know if Nystatin is similar.

It’s a relatively weak anti fungal, and doesn’t cause liver issues the way diflucan and others can. Drug resistant bacteria with antibiotics occur when you frequently use them, and don’t take the entire course when prescribed .... No idea with Nystatin.... What are you treating ?

I'd like to get rid of any fungus that I may have. I think it might help with a toenail, and the remaining dandruff. I'm hoping to get a systematic effect if my immune system is able to keep it at bay after a course of nystatin. If I apply on the skin, I think it might come back as soon as I stop using it.

Does anyone know if it affects gut flora negatively?
