antifungal treatments

Antifungal treatments are medications used to combat fungal infections that can affect the skin, nails, or internal organs. These infections can cause symptoms ranging from mild irritation to severe health issues. Antifungal drugs work by killing the fungi or stopping their growth. They come in various forms, including creams, pills, and intravenous solutions. Common antifungals include azoles, echinocandins, and polyenes. Selecting the right treatment depends on the type of infection, its severity, and the patient's overall health. Timely treatment is important to prevent complications, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems.
