ANDI FAQ:

My friend's child tried Nystatin and it made him vomit. If Nystatin is so safe, why did he react to it?


The child may have experienced a "die-off reaction" to the candida. As it dies, candida releases toxins into the bloodstream and can cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. It is likely that candida was indeed a problem for this child. Your friend should discuss a dosage change (starting with a low dose and working up to a "normal dose") with the prescribing doctor.
