They gave me Nystatin when I was totally amped out on Diflucan (they claimed they never had a patient with as high or as long a dose rate that they were giving me. Although I later found out that some AIDS patients were getting up to 800mg a day of Diflucan (200mg/day was my high number).
That Nystatin stuff just gagged me, especially the orange flavored stuff. I'll take the diflucan anyday (even if excessive use cause nuetropenia - it's only temporary).

The ingredients:

Tetracycline: is a gram negative, wide spectrum antibiotic.

Nystatin: is in the "antifungal" family of drugs to treat thrush, athletes foot and other forms of fungi (I just love that word)

Lidocaine: is a topical anesthetic derived from the coca plant (AKA Cocaine) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidocaine (AKA Zylocaine)

Orabase: More complicated See: http://home.intekom.com/pharm/bm_squib/orabase.html

Remember that "The Fixx" song "One Thing Leads To Another" LOL
