Nystatin and amoxicillin?

Question

Can a 5 month old infant take these together?

Answer 1

I don't see why not, if that's what the doctor prescribed.  One is an anti-fungal and one is an antibiotic.  They don't work the same and shouldn't interfere with each other.  If you are unsure, you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Answer 2

nystatin yes, my Dr gave it to my baby when she was 6 months.

amoxicillin, yup, though alot of people are allergic to that one.

i dont see why someone couldnt take them together. both are prescriptions so the baby's dr would have to OK them. never take (or give someone) another person's prescription

Answer 3

They are fine to take together. The nystatin is prescribed to help keep orla thrush away while your baby is on the antibiotics.

Answer 4

Yep. They are too different medications working together. The nystatin is treating fungus (yeast) and the amoxicillin is treating bacteria. Completely safe.
