The recommended dose is one to two mL (100,000 to 200,000 units nystatin) four times daily.

Children (over 2 years) and adults

Dosage ranges of one to six mL (100,000 to 600,000 units nystatin) four times daily have been used. It is recommended to keep the medication in contact with the affected areas as long as possible.

No specific dosage recommendations or precautions.

In the prevention and treatment of candidiasis, the dosage regimen for Mycostatin should be continued for at least 48 hours after symptoms have disappeared.If signs and symptoms worsen or persist (beyond 14 days of treatment), the patient should be reevaluated, and alternate therapy considered.

Since the absorption of nystatin from the gastro-intestinal tract is negligible, overdosage or accidental ingestion causes no systemic toxicity. Oral doses of nystatin in excess of 5 million units daily have caused nausea and gastrointestinal upset.
