Nystatin is a polyene antifungal medication used topically or orally to treat fungal infections. It binds to ergosterol in fungal cell membranes, creating pores that cause leakage and cell death. In audio-visual terms, it is pronounced with three syllables, stressing the second: NYE-sta-tin or NY-sta-tin in some pronunciations, but most common is ny-STAH-tin.
