T36.7: Poisoning: Antifungal antibiotics, systemically used

Fungi can be pathogens. Antifungal drugs can kill fungi or prevent them from growing. Antifungal drugs include fluconazole and clotrimazole, for example.

A drug can cause poisoning if, for example, too much of it is taken. The drug may also be administered or taken by mistake.

Poisoning by an antifungal drug can cause nausea and vomiting or diarrhea, for example. You may get headaches. Seizures may also occur. The antibiotic may also impair the kidney or liver function. The poisoning may also cause there to be too little potassium in the body. This can weaken the muscles, for example. You may also have an irregular heartbeat as a result.
