    GlossaryOral Antifungals

    drugs taken by mouth to treat fungal infections

    Oral antifungals, also known as oral antifungal medications or antifungal pills, are drugs taken by mouth to treat fungal infections. These medications work by inhibiting the growth of fungi or killing them directly, and are commonly used for conditions like athlete's foot, ringworm, and systemic infections such as candidiasis. They are particularly useful when topical treatments are ineffective or when the infection is widespread.
