Re: Liquid Nystatin- Taste

[Guest guest]

You can get it from a compounding pharmacy in a powder that you mix

with a liquid of your choice. The nystatin you speak of has aluminum

in it and artificial flavoring. So it's not that great to begin with.

It does come in capsules for adults..you can ask about that. I don't

beleive there are other flavor options.

I ordered mine through Lee Silsby compounding pharmacy and they flavor it with

stevia grape flavor. They can also do it bubble gum and strawberry. Our son

takes the nystatin with no problem.

I tried to give my 5 year old her first dose of nystatin this morning and she

would not take it. She is normally really good about taking her meds. It does

taste pretty bitter. Do you know if this comes in a capsule form or if you can

get different flavors? Thanks Sheila

We use the powdered nystatin and it's pretty horrid tasting. We found

it helpful to mix it with applesauce and a drop of stevia. For

liquid, can you put it in her fav juice?

Sheila, The flavor we got from walgreens was vanilla and it tasted fine.

I'm not sure what all it had in it as far as articial colors or

sweeteners. We did not request anything special.

My physician had it made at a compounding pharmacy for us. You may

want to request it from one of them and then you can add your own

flavors, stevia, etc. Here's a list of compounding pharmacies:

Thanks, the pharmacist changed the prescript to capsules. So now my

daughter takes them ok. Plus they do not have any added

ingredients. Thanks, Sheila
