Question

What are the advantages and disadvantages of fungal medication

Please help me

Answer 1

Antifungal medicines are used to treat fungal infections, which most commonly affect your skin, hair and nails.

You can get some antifungal medicines from a pharmacy without needing a GP prescription.

Some fungal infections can grow inside the body and need to be treated in hospital.

Antifungal medicines work by either:

killing the fungus

preventing the fungus from growing

Before taking antifungal medicines, speak to a pharmacist or GP about:

any existing conditions or allergies that may affect your treatment for fungal infection

the possible side effects of antifungal medicines

whether the antifungal medicine may interact with other medicines you may already be taking

whether your antifungal medicine is suitable to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding – many are not suitable

You can also check the patient information leaflet that comes with your antifungal medicine for more information.
