Antifungal agent

An antifungal agent is a type of medication designed to treat infections caused by fungi, such as yeast or mold. These medications work by stopping the growth of fungi or killing them outright, helping to clear infections on the skin, nails, or inside the body. They are used to treat a variety of fungal conditions, including athlete’s foot, ringworm, and more serious systemic infections. Antifungal agents come in various forms like creams, tablets, or injections, and are prescribed based on the type and location of the fungal infection to ensure effective and targeted treatment.
