Nystatin is a prescription drug that comes in a variety of different forms and is licensed to treat various types of fungal infections.

Many people may wonder what the ointment is used for, specifically. Nystatin is specifically approved to treat fungal infections caused by the Candida species of fungi, such as thrush or yeast diaper rash. It is used to treat Candida infections on the surface of the skin for ointment, cream, or powder products, in the vagina for vaginal tablets, or the mouth and digestive tract for the oral forms.

On occasion, your healthcare provider may also recommend nystatin for certain off-label uses. Using the drug to treat any other type of fungal infections other than Candida infections or to prevent any type of infection would be considered to be an off-label nystatin usage.

We have reviewed the basic aspects of history, physicochemical properties, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of nystatin- and amphotericin B-perforated patch recording. Recently, we have developed a novel perforated patch technique using gramicidin 49, 132, 133. Since gramicidin pores are permeable to Na and K but not to Cl-, it is possible to maintain the physiological concentration of intracellular Cl- and thereby to measure it in real-time from small neurons. Further improvement of the perforated patch techniques would be possible by limiting redistribution of specific intracellular ions. In light of their broad applicability, the perforated patch techniques will prove indispensable for electrophysiologists working on the functions and modulations of receptors, ion channels and transport phenomena. Research with the perforated patch should continue to provide important information relevant to the physiological and pathological conditions of cells.
