Antifungal drugs are used to treat fungal infections in individuals. Common fungal infections such as fungal nail infection, and ringworm etc. usually occur on the external surface of the body, while certain invasive fungal infections occur inside the body tissues or inside internal organs such as lungs and brain. Fungal infection is usually associated with individuals having weak immune system, such as people suffering from HIV/AIDS. Moreover, patients undergoing chemotherapy are susceptible to invasive fungal infections. Antifungal drugs act against the fungal infections by either killing the fungal cells or by inhibiting their growth. Antifungal drugs are broadly classified as topical antifungals, oral antifungals, intravenous antifungals, and intravaginal antifungal pessaries.
