| | Antifungal drugs, systemic |
 | | These drugs are used, for example, to treat common fungal infections such as tinea (ringworm), which occurs on the skin or candidiasis (a yeast infection, also known as trush), which can occur in the throat, in the vagina, or in other parts of the body. |
 | | Antifungal drugs are categorized depending on their route or site of action, their mechanism of action and their chemical nature. |
 | | Systemic antifungal drugs work best when their amount is kept constant in the body, meaning that they have to be taken regularly, at the same time every day, and without missing any doses. |
