What kind of medicines are these?

These medications are used to treat infections caused by fungi and protozoa. They relieve symptoms of infections in various areas, such as the skin, mucous membranes, and internal organs. They help reduce inflammation and symptoms in the infected areas.

These drugs inhibit proliferation or kill the cells by disrupting the cellular structure or metabolic processes of fungi or protozoa. While the mechanism of action differs for each drug, they all interfere with functions necessary for the survival of the pathogens.

Good to know
