Mytrex

Generic Name: nystatin and triamcinolone (topical) (nye STAT in and TRYE am SIN o lone)

What is nystatin and triamcinolone?

Nystatin is an antibiotic medication that prevents fungus from growing on your skin.

Triamcinolone is a steroid. It reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling.

The combination of nystatin and triamcinolone topical (for the skin) is used to treat skin infections caused by fungus or yeast.

Nystatin and triamcinolone may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about nystatin and triamcinolone?

You should not use this medication if you are allergic to nystatin or triamcinolone.

Before using nystatin and triamcinolone, tell your doctor if you have any type of skin infection (especially tuberculosis infection of the skin), or if you have chicken pox or herpes infection (including cold sores).

Also tell your doctor if you have diabetes. Topical steroid medicines absorbed through the skin may increase the glucose (sugar) levels in your blood or urine.

Use this medication exactly as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Topical steroid medicine can be absorbed through the skin, which may cause steroid side effects throughout the body.

What should I discuss with my health care provider before using nystatin and triamcinolone?

You should not use this medication if you are allergic to nystatin or triamcinolone.

If you have certain conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use this medication. Before using nystatin and triamcinolone, tell your doctor if you have:

any type of skin infection, especially tuberculosis infection of the skin; or

chicken pox or herpes infection (including cold sores).

Also tell your doctor if you have diabetes. Topical steroid medicines absorbed through the skin may increase the glucose (sugar) levels in your blood or urine.

FDA pregnancy category C. This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment.

Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I use nystatin and triamcinolone?

Use this medication exactly as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Topical steroid medicine can be absorbed through the skin, which may cause steroid side effects throughout the body.

Apply a thin layer of nystatin and triamcinolone to your skin and rub in gently.

Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. Covering the skin that is treated with nystatin and triamcinolone can increase the amount of the drug your skin absorbs, which may lead to unwanted side effects. Follow your doctor’s instructions.

Avoid tight-fitting clothes over treated skin areas. If you are treating the diaper area of a baby, do not use plastic pants or tight-fitting diapers.

Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve, or if they get worse after using this medication.

Do not use nystatin and triamcinolone for any other skin conditions your doctor has not prescribed the medication to treat.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Apply the medication as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and use the medicine at the next regularly scheduled time. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. Overdose symptoms may result if you absorb this medicine through your skin by applying too much of it.

An overdose of nystatin and triamcinolone is not expected to produce life-threatening symptoms. However, long-term use of high steroid doses can lead to symptoms such as thinning skin, easy bruising, changes in the shape or location of body fat (especially in your face, neck, back, and waist), increased acne or facial hair, menstrual problems, impotence, or loss of interest in sex.

What should I avoid while using nystatin and triamcinolone?

blurred vision, or seeing halos around lights;

uneven heartbeats;

mood changes;

sleep problems (insomnia);

weight gain, puffiness in your face; or

feeling tired.

Mycolog-II

Posted by admin on November 10th, 2009

Mycolog-II

Why is Mycolog-II prescribed?

Mycolog-II Cream and Ointment are prescribed for the treatment of candidiasis (a yeast-like fungal infection) of the skin. The combination of an antifungal (nystatin) and a steroid (triamcinolone acetonide) provides greater benefit than nystatin alone during the first few days of treatment. Nystatin kills the fungus or prevents its growth; triamcinolone helps relieve the redness, swelling, itching, and other discomfort that can accompany a skin infection.

Most important fact about Mycolog-II

Absorption of Mycolog-II through the skin can affect the whole body instead of just the surface of the skin being treated. Although unusual, it is possible that you could experience symptoms of steroid excess such as weight gain, reddening and rounding of the face and neck, growth of excess body and facial hair, high blood pressure, emotional disturbances, increased blood sugar, and urinary excretion of glucose (marked by an increase in frequency of urination).

Use of Mycolog-II over large surface areas, for prolonged periods, or with airtight dressings or bandages, could cause these problems. Your doctor will watch your condition and periodically check for symptoms.

How should you take Mycolog-II?

Use this medicine for the full course of treatment, even if your symptoms are gone. Apply a thin layer to the affected area and gently rub it in. Do not bandage or wrap the area being treated, unless your doctor tells you to. Keep the area cool and dry.

Use Mycolog-II exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use it more often or for a longer time. It is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes.

What side effects may occur?

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Mycolog-II.

Why should Mycolog-II not be prescribed?

If you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction to nystatin, triamcinolone acetonide, or other antifungals or steroids, you should not take Mycolog-II. Make sure your doctor is aware of any drug reactions you have experienced.

Special warnings about Mycolog-II

Do not use Mycolog-II for any disorder other than the one for which it was prescribed.

Remember to avoid wrapping or bandaging the affected area. The use of tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants is not recommended for a child being treated in the diaper area with Mycolog-II. These garments may act in the same way as airtight dressings or bandages.

If an irritation or allergic reaction develops while using Mycolog-II, notify your doctor.

If used in the groin area, apply Mycolog-II sparingly and wear loose-fitting clothing.

If your condition does not show improvement after 2 to 3 weeks, or if it gets worse, consult your doctor.

Possible food and drug interactions when taking Mycolog-II

No interactions have been reported.

Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

The effects of Mycolog-II in pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your doctor before using Mycolog-II.

It is not known whether Mycolog-II appears in breast milk. If Mycolog-II is essential to your health, your doctor may advise you to discontinue breastfeeding until your treatment with Mycolog-II is finished.

Recommended dosage for Mycolog-II

ADULTS

Mycolog-II Cream is usually applied to the affected areas 2 times a day, in the morning and evening, by gently and thoroughly massaging the preparation into the skin. Your doctor will have you stop using the cream if your symptoms persist after 25 days of treatment.

A thin film of Mycolog-II Ointment is usually applied to the affected areas 2 times a day, in the morning and the evening. Your doctor will have you stop using the ointment if your symptoms persist after 25 days of treatment.

CHILDREN

Your doctor will limit use of Mycolog-II for children to the least amount that is effective. Long-term treatment may interfere with the growth and development of children.

Overdosage

An acute overdosage is unlikely with the use of Mycolog-II; however, long-term or prolonged use can produce reactions throughout the body. See “Most important fact about Mycolog-II.”
