way
- The suspension gel is left in the mouth for a few minutes, gently moved back and forth and then swallowed.
- For the treatment of yeast infections of the oral cavity, it has proven to be expedient to additionally coat the affected areas with a cotton swab to which the suspension gel has previously been applied. Due to its adhesive properties, the gel is suitable for treatment in the oral cavity.
- In the case of babies, it makes sense to put ½ - 1 measuring spoon (½ - 1 g) in the oral cavity before and after the meal. This allows the effect of nystatin in the oral cavity to be optimized. In the case of infants, too, the aim should be for the gel to remain in the oral cavity for as long as possible.
