Antifungal Agents 

 



Haveles (p. 102)



Fungal infections are not frequently encountered in the dental practice 

4



When present, they are often difficult to treat

They are more likely to occur in patients who are immunocompromised, and they can become chronic



Haveles (pp. 102-103) (Tables 8-1, 8-2)

They can be divided into those that affect primarily the skin and mucosa and those that affect the whole body Mucosal lesions may be treated with a topical or systemic antifungal agent

Two common groups are the candida-like and tinea 

Mucocutaneous candidal infections are managed with nystatin, clotrimazole, ketoconazole, or fluconazole  Tinea affects the skin and produces athlete’s foot, “jock itch,” and ringworm; managed both with prescription and over-the-counter medications

Antifungal Agents  



Haveles (pp. 102-103, 106) (Figs. 8-1, 8-2)

Systemic mycoses produced by fungi include aspergillosis, blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, mucormycosis, and paracoccidioidomycosis 



Nystatin 





Chromomycosis, mycetoma, and sporotrichosis may progress to deep mycotic infections

This action produces an increase in membrane permeability  Bacteria do not contain sterols in their cell membrane, therefore nystatin is not effective against these organisms

These serious infections are medical management situations 

Haveles (pp. 103-104)

A polyene macrolide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces noursei Mechanism of action involves binding to sterols in the fungal cell membrane

Amphotericin B and miconazole are used to treat them

Nystatin 



Nystatin

Not absorbed from the mucous membranes or through intact skin 



Adverse reactions are minor and infrequent 

Applied topically or taken orally, little absorption occurs  With higher doses, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea have occasionally occurred

Taken orally, it is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract

Fungicidal and fungistatic against a variety of yeasts and fungi

Nystatin 

Haveles (pp. 103-104) (Table 8-1)

Used for both treatment and prevention of oral candidiasis in susceptible cases





Candida albicans is a frequent inhabitant of the oral cavity; only under unusual conditions does it produce disease  Affected patients are often immunocompromised

Haveles (p. 103) (Table 8-1)

For treatment of oral candidiasis; available as an aqueous suspension containing 50% sucrose 

Swish, swirl, and spit or swallow 5 ml four times daily • The suspension should remain in the mouth for 2 minutes for the best effect

Ketoconazole  

Ketoconazole 

Haveles (p. 105)

Adverse reactions of ketoconazole





Haveles (p. 105)

Drug interactions 

GI effects: the most frequent adverse reactions are nausea and vomiting  Hepatotoxicity effects: the most serious adverse reaction; thought to be idiosyncratic  Other effects: headache, dizziness, drowsiness, photophobia, skin rash or pruritus, and insomnia  Pregnancy and nursing considerations: can produce syndactyly, oligodactyly, dystocia, and embryotoxicity

Many, because an acidic environment is required, agents that alter the amount of stomach acid could theoretically reduce the absorption of ketoconazole  ketoconazole inhibits the CYP P-450 3A4 hepatic microsomal isoenzyme, which can produce drug interactions with many other drugs also metabolized by this isoenzyme
