Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Nystatin didn't work for us at all. Not with my asd son or my nt son. It's pretty much the weakest choice. It is not a systemic antifungal so it will only kill what it comes in direct contact with which usually isn't enough.Nizoral - yes, worked great for about 6 months and now we are on diflucan. 3/4 pill on each at night. My son was just over 3 when he started - he's 4 now.No experience with sporanox.cherylHappy New Year everyone. I have a question re antifungals. Has anyone tried Nizoral, Sporanol or Nystatin? If so, have you had any success? and if yes, what dosage were you using? I'm trying to figure out which drug would be best for my 3.5 yr old daughter who weighs about 33lbs.Any advice would be greatly appreciatedThank you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Same here....no luck with Nystatin. Nizoral- works great Diflucan - worked great, then stopped working....had to up the dosage to get it to work again. We rotate between Nizoral and Diflucan.Cheryl Lowrance wrote: Nystatin didn't work for us at all. Not with my asd son or my nt son. It's pretty much the weakest choice.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Do you need an RX for Nizoral? Is it as pricey as Nystatin? We have had our son on Nystatin for almost 2 months now and do not notice anything different. Do you think it is time to move on? Would ThreeLac be a choice as a yeast fighter? > > Happy New Year everyone. I have a question re antifungals. Has anyone > tried Nizoral, Sporanol or Nystatin?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yes a rx is needed for Nizoral. Not sure about the price. I would move on to another antifungal. Nystatin is not as helpful to most kids although, some do have luck with it. If you can't get a rx for Nizoral or Diflucan I would try the Threelac or maybe a natural antifungal.Lynn wrote: Do you need an RX for Nizoral? Is it as pricey as Nystatin?

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yes, Nizoral is a prescription drug in the US. Pamela " Courage is doing what you're afraid to do.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 No, it doesn't have to be with an antifungal. Nystatin is a nonsystemic antifungal which means it will only kill that which it has direct contact. It's not as effective as a systemic antifungal like Diflucan, Nizoral or Amp B. Nystatin was completely useless on both my asd son and my nt son. It works for some, though.CherylMy doctor (DAN) is suggesting an antifungal for my son. Can anyone give me any information on this? Should it be administered with an anti-viral (thought I'd heard that somewhere). I would love any information about this. Thanks Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
