Topical antifungals are used to treat a range of disorders pertaining to the mouth, ears, nails, skin, and more. Topical antifungals are among the most often recommended compounded drugs due to the prevalence of fungal infections in these locations. Many antifungals have long been marketed and accessible for purchase. However, there are frequently restrictions on the dosage strengths and administration techniques. These well-established antifungals can be combined with new formulations for contemporary treatment protocols by a compounding pharmacy.

Antifungal drugs can be administered intravenously or orally to treat a fungal infection holistically. Nonetheless, topical treatment is typically the first line of treatment when a problem can be addressed in this way. Most of the time, topical drugs have less negative effects than systemic ones. Antifungals come in a variety of topical forms, including creams, mouthwashes, nasal sprays (for topical treatment of sinuses), and more. Numerous of these work well to treat common fungal infections. Systemic antifungals are advised only in cases where topical therapy is ineffective or the infection is more invasive.

Our compounding pharmacy focuses on formulations for topical antifungals. For systemic antifungals we generally recommend finding a commercially available products.
