Nystatin Swish & Swallow

Anybody else doing this? I have been instructed to take this stuff 4x/day starting 4 days before surgery to reduce the growth of yeast. When it first hit my tongue the taste wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but then when I swished and swallowed...ewwww It is disgusting! My stomach doesn't really like it either. Elizabeth

Nope, never heard of this, but I go to the docs on the 4th so then I might find out if I have to do this too. My surgery is not till the 25 of Oct, maybe that is why I didn't hear of this. Good luck on your surgery, Ann

hello yes i have to do this only the morning of surgery.thanks for the heads up about the taste. cherie

How did they determine that you needed to do this? Do you have recurring yeast infections? Maybe I need to talk to my doctor about this too. Ranessa

My surgeon requires Nystatin for all of his patients. He takes a lot of precautions. Starting yesterday I have also had to was with Hibiclens twice a day. Elizabeth

Sounds yukky I wonder if I will have to do this. Thanks for the heads up on the tastiness factor! Good luck on your surgery and may you have a smooth recovery. Sweet T
