FULVICIN P/G 330 vs NYSTATIN
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Fulvicin P/G 330 contains griseofulvin, which inhibits fungal cell mitosis by disrupting the microtubule function, binding to tubulin and preventing assembly of spindle fibers during metaphase.
Nystatin binds to sterols in the fungal cell membrane, primarily ergosterol, altering membrane permeability and causing leakage of intracellular components, leading to fungal cell death.
330 mg orally once daily with fatty meal to enhance absorption.
Oral: 500,000 to 1,000,000 units (5-10 mL suspension) swish and swallow 3-4 times daily; Vaginal: 1 vaginal tablet (100,000 units) once or twice daily; Topical: Apply cream/ointment 2-3 times daily; duration depends on indication.

Terminal half-life approximately 9-22 hours in adults, with a mean of ~13 hours. Clinical context: steady-state achieved in 2-3 days; may guide dosing interval.
Due to minimal systemic absorption, a terminal elimination half-life is not clinically relevant. In vitro plasma degradation half-life is approximately 1.5 hours, but this is not applicable in vivo.
Primarily hepatic metabolism; <1% excreted unchanged in urine. Biliary/fecal excretion of metabolites: ~36% in feces, ~13% in urine.
Nystatin is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration; virtually 100% of the ingested dose is excreted unchanged in the feces. After topical application, systemic absorption is negligible; any absorbed drug is excreted via bile and feces (<1% renal).
