Antifungal

Antifungals are a class of medicines used to treat fungal infections by killing fungi or preventing their growth. These medicines can be used both topically (applied directly to the skin) or internally. Antifungals are important for preventing and treating a range of fungal infections, including ringworm, athlete’s foot, candidiasis (yeast infection), and thrush. They can also be used to treat certain types of pneumonia and other serious systemic fungal infections. Antifungals are available in both oral (tablets or capsules) and topical (lotions, creams, or ointments) forms, and come in varying strengths and formulations.
