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.
