Antifungals

Antifungals are medications used to treat infections caused by fungi, which can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, nails, and internal organs. They work by inhibiting the growth of fungi or killing them outright. Common antifungal treatments include creams for skin infections, oral medications for systemic infections, and topical solutions for nail infections. Some antifungals are available over-the-counter, while others require a prescription. It's important to use them as directed, as improper use may lead to resistance or worsen the infection.
