How do antifungal treatments interact with Candida albicans?
Antifungal medications like fluconazole and amphotericin B are standard treatments for Candida infections. However, these drugs can have significant toxicological profiles themselves. For example, amphotericin B is known for its nephrotoxic effects, which necessitate careful monitoring during treatment. The development of resistance to antifungal drugs is another concern, leading to a need for more potent and potentially more toxic treatments.
