Q: What types of antifungal
medications are available?
A: Antifungals include azoles (fluconazole, itraconazole,
ketoconazole), allylamines (terbinafine), polyenes (amphotericin B), and
echinocandins. They treat infections ranging from ringworm to systemic fungal
infections.
Q: How long does antifungal
treatment take?
A: Treatment duration varies: nail fungus may require 3–6 months;
skin infections 2–4 weeks; oral thrush 7–14 days; vaginal yeast infections 1–7
days depending on the medication.
Q: Can antifungal medications be
used topically and orally?
A: Yes. Many fungal infections of the skin and nails respond well
to topical antifungals. Severe or widespread infections require oral systemic
antifungal treatment.
Q: What is fluconazole used for?
A: Fluconazole treats vaginal yeast infections, oral thrush,
ringworm, and systemic fungal infections. It is available in single-dose form
for uncomplicated vaginal candidiasis.
Q: Is a prescription required for
antifungal medications?
A: Some topical antifungals are OTC. However, oral antifungals
like fluconazole and itraconazole require a prescription. AlldayNightChemist
offers both at affordable prices.
Q: What are the side effects of
oral antifungal medications?
A: Fluconazole may cause nausea, abdominal discomfort, and
headache. Itraconazole can rarely cause liver toxicity, liver function tests
are recommended for long courses. Terbinafine occasionally causes taste
disturbance and, rarely, liver issues. Report any yellowing of skin or eyes
immediately.
Q: How should antifungal creams
and tablets be stored?
A: Store antifungal tablets at room temperature, away from
moisture and direct sunlight. Topical creams should be kept at room
temperature, do not freeze. Opened multi-dose eye drops should be discarded
after 28 days. Check expiry dates before use.
