Anti-fungal medications treat dermatophyte infections (tinea pedis, tinea cruris, tinea corporis, tinea capitis, onychomycosis), candida infections (oral and vulvovaginal candidiasis, paronychia), and selected systemic fungal disease. The MedsBase Anti-Fungal catalogue carries the major drug classes — see also our broader Behandeling van schimmelinfecties category. All products are supplied by WHO-GMP gecertificeerde fabrikanten.
Allylamines. Terbinafine is fungicidal against dermatophytes — first-line for tinea pedis, corporis, cruris, and onychomycosis. Topical 1% cream is available as Terbicip Cream en Terbiface. Oral 250 mg tablets (the gold standard for nail-bed onychomycosis: 6 weeks for fingernails, 12 weeks for toenails) are stocked as Terbicip, Terbijohn, en Zimig. Baseline LFTs and 4–6-week recheck recommended for oral courses.
Topical azoles. Ketoconazole 2% cream and shampoo (the workhorse for seborrhoeic dermatitis, pityriasis versicolor, and superficial candidiasis) is available as Keto Cream, KZ Cream, Keto Lotion, en Ketoforce. Miconazole as Daktarin Gel en Micogel. Luliconazole 1% (single-application advantage) as Lulibet XL Cream. Clotrimazole vaginal pessary + cream for vulvovaginal candidiasis as Candid V Gel.
Oral azoles. Fluconazole (water-soluble; weekly-dosing option for chronic candidiasis prophylaxis) is available as Fluconaz. Itraconazole (broader spectrum including dermatophytes, dimorphic fungi, and many moulds; pulse dose for onychomycosis) as Sporanox, Itratuf, en Itrotab. Both have important CYP3A4 interactions — review concomitant medications.
Griseofulvin. The classic oral antifungal still used for tinea capitis in children (where azoles are second-line), and for severe extensive tinea infections. Available as Grisovin FP, Griso, Grisoheal, en Griseofulvin. Take with fatty meal for absorption; long courses (4–8 weeks for tinea capitis).
Topical nail lacquers. Amorolfine 5% lacquer (weekly application) is available as Loceryl Nail Liq en Nailrox Nail Lacquer. Best used for early-stage onychomycosis or as adjunct to oral terbinafine.
Belangrijk. Confirm fungal aetiology before starting prolonged systemic therapy — many “stubborn rashes” are eczema or psoriasis, not fungus, and respond worse to antifungals than to topical steroids. Oral terbinafine and azoles need hepatic monitoring on extended courses. Itraconazole and ketoconazole have major drug interactions (avoid with statins, ergots, oral midazolam, many TKIs). Pregnancy: oral antifungals require specialist advice.
