This Nystatin 20000 Units/g Sucralfate 200 mg/g Topical Gel is a semisolid formulation designed for easy and precise application on the skin through a convenient pump mechanism. The gel-like consistency ensures targeted treatment and effective absorption of active ingredients.
This formulation is used to treat skin conditions such as fungal infections and ulcers, providing relief and promoting healing by combining the antifungal properties of Nystatin with the protective and soothing effects of Sucralfate.
Licensed to fill prescriptions for patients in RI, MA, CT, NJ, NH, FL, ME and PA. New York patients are served on a limited basis while nonresident registration is pending.
The semisolid gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, allowing for easy and precise application to the affected areas on the skin.
Nystatin is an antifungal agent that works by binding to sterols in the fungal cell membrane, altering its permeability and leading to the leakage of essential cellular components.
Sucralfate acts as a topical protectant by forming a viscous, adhesive substance that adheres to epithelial cells and ulcerated tissue. This creates a protective barrier over wounds and inflamed areas, promoting healing and providing a conducive environment for tissue regeneration.
The combination of Nystatin and Sucralfate in this gel formulation offers both antifungal activity and protective healing properties. Nystatin addresses the fungal infection by targeting and eliminating susceptible fungi, while Sucralfate safeguards the affected area, reducing irritation and facilitating the natural healing process of the skin or mucous membranes.
This compounded gel is intended for use in patients with fungal skin infections where additional mucosal protection is beneficial. It may be particularly useful in treating conditions such as intertrigo, diaper dermatitis, or other inflammatory skin conditions complicated by candidal infections that require both antifungal treatment and protective care.
Patients should apply a measured amount of the gel to the affected area as directed by their healthcare provider, typically applying a thin layer two to four times daily. The pump mechanism ensures accurate dosing and minimizes waste, enhancing ease of use. It is important to cleanse the area before application and wash hands thoroughly after applying the gel to prevent the spread of infection.
As with all medications, potential side effects may occur. Nystatin is generally well-tolerated but may cause local irritation, itching, or allergic reactions in some individuals. Sucralfate is also typically safe when used topically but may cause mild skin reactions. Patients should discontinue use and consult their healthcare provider if they experience severe irritation, rash, or signs of an allergic reaction.
Prescribers considering this formulation for their patients should assess the individual’s condition to determine the appropriateness of combining antifungal therapy with mucosal protection. The compounded gel allows for targeted delivery of medications to the site of infection and inflammation, potentially improving patient adherence and treatment outcomes through convenient application and dual therapeutic action.

Nystatin 20000 Units/g Sucralfate 200 mg/g Topical Gel is a compounded formulation designed for targeted treatment of skin conditions that may benefit from the antifungal properties of nystatin and the protective, soothing effects of sucralfate.
When considering the use of this topical gel, it is important to be aware of potential drug interactions, although they are generally less common with topical formulations compared to systemic medications. However, certain interactions may still occur, particularly if the patient is using other topical or systemic medications concurrently.
Patients using other topical medications should be cautious, as the concurrent application of multiple topical agents can lead to altered absorption or efficacy. For instance, applying other antifungal or corticosteroid creams simultaneously may either potentiate or diminish the effects of nystatin or sucralfate. It is advisable to apply different topical medications at different times of the day to minimize potential interactions.
Systemic medications are less likely to interact with this topical gel, but prescribers should still consider the patient's overall medication regimen. For example, patients on systemic antifungal therapy should be monitored for potential additive effects, although this is more of a theoretical concern with topical nystatin. Additionally, patients taking medications that affect skin integrity or healing, such as certain immunosuppressants or chemotherapy agents, should be monitored closely, as these could potentially alter the skin's response to the topical treatment.
Patients with known hypersensitivity to nystatin, sucralfate, or any component of the formulation should avoid using this gel. Furthermore, if the patient experiences any unexpected skin reactions, such as increased irritation, redness, or signs of an allergic reaction, they should discontinue use and consult their healthcare provider.
For prescribers, it is crucial to review the patient's full medication list, including over-the-counter products and supplements, to assess for any potential interactions. Additionally, educating patients on the proper application technique and advising them to report any adverse effects or concerns can help optimize treatment outcomes.

The Nystatin 20000 Units/g Sucralfate 200 mg/g Topical Gel is a specialized formulation designed to deliver targeted treatment through a semisolid gel dispensed via a pump mechanism. This innovative delivery system ensures easy and precise application, allowing for optimal absorption of the active ingredients directly at the site of need. The gel-like consistency enhances adherence to the skin, providing a protective barrier while facilitating the sustained release of the active compounds.
Nystatin is an antifungal agent that works by binding to sterols in the cell membrane of susceptible fungi, primarily Candida species. This binding disrupts the fungal cell membrane, causing leakage of cellular contents and ultimately leading to cell death. The localized application minimizes systemic absorption, reducing the risk of systemic side effects and drug interactions.
Sucralfate, on the other hand, is a cytoprotective agent that acts by forming a viscous, adhesive barrier on the skin's surface. This barrier protects the underlying tissue from further irritation and promotes healing by maintaining a moist environment conducive to tissue repair. Sucralfate's ability to bind to proteins in damaged tissue enhances its protective action, making it particularly useful in treating skin conditions characterized by ulceration or erosion. By combining Sucralfate with Nystatin in a topical gel, the formulation not only addresses fungal infections but also aids in the healing of the affected skin, providing a dual therapeutic action.
This formulation is particularly beneficial for patients with conditions such as intertrigo, diaper dermatitis, or other skin irritations complicated by fungal infections. The pump mechanism ensures that patients and caregivers can apply the gel with precision, reducing waste and ensuring consistent dosing.
