Antifungals

Antifungals are a broad medicine class used to treat infections caused by fungi. They include medicines for skin and nail infections, vaginal thrush, oral thrush and certain more serious internal fungal infections. The appropriate medicine depends on the suspected fungus, where the infection is located and the clinical assessment.

What types of antifungal medicine are available?

Established antifungal approaches include topical creams, gels and sprays for localised skin conditions, as well as oral tablets or capsules for infections where a systemic treatment may be considered. Azole antifungals are a long-established group; they are used in different forms and for different clinical situations. Not every antifungal is suitable for every fungal infection, so customers should select medicines in line with professional advice and the product information.

What should you consider when choosing an antifungal?

A useful starting point is whether the infection is thought to need local treatment or an oral medicine, as well as the active ingredient, dosage form and prescribed strength. Oral antifungals may be chosen for particular infections or when a clinician considers them appropriate, while topical options are often used for conditions limited to the skin. A previous diagnosis does not necessarily establish the right treatment for a new or persistent problem.
