Osmosis video - Miscellaneous antifungal medications

There are a few different types of antifungal medications, but they all work in similar ways. Most of them work by disrupting the formation of the fungal cell wall, which eventually kills the fungus. Some common antifungal medications include azoles (such as fluconazole and itraconazole), polyenes (such as amphotericin B and nystatin), and echinocandins (such as caspofungin and anidulafungin).
