nystatin + triamcinolone

Nystatin + triamcinolone is a combination topical medication used chiefly to treat cutaneous fungal infections (especially infections caused by Candida species), where symptoms also include significant inflammation or itching[1][2][3][5][6][7][8][9][10]. **Nystatin** is a polyene antifungal that binds to sterols (mainly ergosterol) in fungal cell membranes, thereby altering membrane permeability and resulting in cell death[2][3][7]. **Triamcinolone acetonide** is a synthetic corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and itching by inhibiting inflammatory mediator pathways, decreasing capillary permeability, and exerting potent antipruritic and vasoconstrictive actions[2][3][7]. The combination is dispensed as a cream or ointment and is applied topically to affected skin areas, usually twice daily for no more than 25 days[1][2][3][5][7][8][9].
