Answers:
In a healthy body, bacteria aid certain processes. Taking an antibiotic can kill off the good bacteria, causing intestinal problems and yeast infections. This is why it's a good idea to take Nystatin whenever you take antibiotics.

Nystatin is safe and effective, with few side effects. If you ask your doctor, and she or he wants to give you a newer antifungal medication, ask her or him to show you the write ups for both in the PDR (Physician's Desk Reference) because, from what I've seen, the newer antifungals have terrible side effects. It's your body, so take charge of your health decisions.
You should also know that some antibiotics can interfere with the efficacy of birth control pills (this might not be of interest to you, but it's good to know).
