Antifungals
Antifungals are medicines used against fungal infections. The class includes treatments intended for different body sites and infection types, so the right choice depends on the suspected fungus, the affected area, the severity of infection and a clinician's assessment.
What types of antifungal medicines are available?
Antifungal treatment includes topical preparations for some local skin conditions, oral medicines for selected infections and specialist systemic treatments for more serious cases. Azole antifungals are a long-established group; within this group, triazoles such as fluconazole are oral options used for particular susceptible fungal infections. Products in the wider antifungal class are not automatically interchangeable, as their approved uses, forms and prescribing considerations can differ.
What should I consider before choosing an antifungal?
Consider whether an oral or topical approach has been recommended, the medicine's active ingredient, strength, dosage form and the pack quantity that suits the prescribed course. Persistent, recurrent or severe symptoms need clinical assessment, because several non-fungal conditions can resemble a fungal infection. A pharmacist or prescriber can help determine whether an antifungal is appropriate.
What antifungal option do we list?

What is the Australian prescription position for this option?
