Antiyeast
Antiyeast drugs, also known as antifungal agents, are medications used to treat fungal infections. They are used to treat a range of infections, including Candida albicans, which is the most common cause of yeast infections. Antiyeast drugs work by interfering with the production of the fungal cell wall, which prevents the fungus from growing and replicating. They can also disrupt the way the fungus metabolizes and reproduces, stopping it from growing and spreading. Antiyeast drugs are usually taken orally or applied topically to the affected area. In some cases, they may also be injected into the affected area. Antiyeast drugs can be effective in treating fungal infections, but they are not always successful in treating more serious infections, such as those caused by Candida glabrata.
