Who may not be able to take or use nystatin
Nystatin is not suitable for some people. To make sure it's safe for you, tell a pharmacist or doctor if you:
- have ever had an allergic reaction to nystatin or any other medicine, including any ingredients in the cream or ointment
- cannot digest some sugars – the liquid has a small amount of sucrose in it
- have tuberculosis (TB) of the skin – you may not be able to use the cream or ointment
