Re: nystatin oral ???

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

When I gave my 5 yr old nystatin I had a compounding pharmacist

make it up in powdered capsules. Then I just mixed the nystatin with

a drop of water and some stevia to sweeten it and put in a syringe

and squirted down his throat. That way you are only giving maybe 1/4

of a ml and it goes down quick. Plus no sugar in the powder, I think

the liquid form has sugar.Still tastes gross but the stevia helped

alot! I agree, I hate when my doc says " give him this, that, and the

other thing " when they taste awful and the kid can't swallow pills

and is only 5 yrs old. How do you get the CLO in? I've never managed

that. Good Luck...
