Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients are randomized to receive fluconazole oral suspension once daily (swallowed at approximately the same time every day) for 14 days or nystatin oral suspension used to rinse the mouth four times daily for 14 days. No food or drink is permitted immediately following the administration of the nystatin.
