Nystatin and triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment is indicated for the treatment of cutaneous candidiasis. It has been demonstrated that the nystatin-steroid combination provides greater benefit than the nystatin component alone during the first few days of treatment. The approved ANDA is therapeutically equivalent to the reference listed drug product (RLD) nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide ointment of Taro Pharmaceuticals U.S.A. Inc.

According to IQVIA, nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide ointment has an estimated market size of $4 million for twelve months ending December 2021. Alembic said it has received year to date 21 approvals (15 final approvals and 6 tentative approvals) and a cumulative total of 160 ANDA approvals (138 final approvals and 22 tentative approvals) from USFDA.
