Nilstat (100,000 IU/mL) Oral Suspension is an antifungal medicine used to treat and prevent fungal infections in the mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract, such as oral thrush (candidiasis). It works by binding to the fungal cell membrane, causing it to leak and ultimately leading to the death of the fungus. Nilstat helps relieve symptoms like white patches, soreness, and discomfort in the mouth and throat caused by fungal infections.
