Antifungal drugs are used to kill fungi and yeast that cause infection in many areas of the
body. They are used to treat common conditions, such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, dandruff, and vaginitis, as well as serious infections that have
spread throughout the body. Antifungal medication is often used in individuals with poorly
functioning immune systems, as observed in
people with AIDS, and in people who are taking
drugs that suppress immune function.
