Antifungal medications are used to treat fungal infections that frequently occur on the skin, mouth, and vagina. Antifungal drugs are also referred to as antimycotic agents. These medications kill or inhibit fungal cell growth. Creams, nail lacquers, tablets, injections, lozenges, and pessaries are all antifungal drugs. Antifungal medications can be either fungicidal or fungistatic.
