Limited clinical studies in premature and low birth weight infants indicated that 1 mL administered 4 times daily is effective.
The dosage regimen for nystatin oral suspension should be continued for at least 48 hrs after symptoms have disappeared. If signs and symptoms worsen or persist (>14 days of treatment), the patient should be re-evaluated and alternate therapy considered.
Administration: The suspension should be retained in the mouth for as long as possible (eg, several minutes) before swallowing. In infants and young children, apply ½ of dose in each side of mouth.
