Yep, NNL is right, it is, but nystatin can be used for oral thrush, right? I get it confused.

answers same, except for oesophageal candidiasis....
well i read lippins and at many other places DOC for oesophageal candi....is fluconazole....
it has a reason....nystanin also is equally effective but bcos this disease is more often or it wont be wrong saying that this disease is mostly seen in patients of AIDS....
and in these patients we more often use fluconazole not nystanin.

so even in general we consider fluconazole as DOC for oesophageal candidisis
