Does Nystatin Help In Preventing Yeast Infections?

I have been prescribed clindamycin for a gum infection. I often get vaginal yeast infections when I take antibotics. I was also prescribed Nystatin to prevent this. Does Nystatin usually prevent yeast infections. I am to take half a tablet twice a day (500,000 units - oral)?
