    GlossaryAntifungal Agents

    medications that treat fungal infections by killing or inhibiting fungi

    Antifungal agents, also known as antifungals or antimycotic agents, are medications used to treat fungal infections. These drugs work by either killing the fungal cells or inhibiting their growth, and they can be applied topically, taken orally, or administered intravenously, depending on the severity and location of the infection.
