Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antifungal medications should be continued for the full duration of treatment as prescribed by a healthcare professional, even if symptoms improve or disappear. This is to ensure complete eradication of the fungal infection and to prevent recurrence. Stopping medication prematurely can result in the infection coming back stronger and more resistant to treatment.
