Precautions
To help cure the infection and to help prevent reinfection, good health habits are required.
- Wear cotton panties (or panties or pantyhose with cotton crotches) instead of synthetic (for example, nylon, rayon) underclothes.
- Wear freshly laundered underclothes.
If you have any questions about this, check with your health care professional.
If you have any questions about douching or intercourse during the time of treatment with nystatin, check with your doctor.
Since there may be some vaginal drainage while you are using this medicine, a sanitary napkin may be worn to protect your clothing.
