What is the primary function of antifungals in medication administration?

  1. To treat fungal infections

  2. To relieve inflammation

  3. To regulate blood sugar levels

  4. To address hormonal imbalances

The correct answer is: To treat fungal infections

Antifungals are a specific type of medication designed to treat fungal infections. They work by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of fungi, helping to eliminate the infection. Option B, to relieve inflammation, is incorrect as antifungals specifically target fungal infections and do not have an effect on inflammation. Options C and D are also incorrect as antifungals do not have any impact on regulating blood sugar levels or addressing hormonal imbalances. Antifungals are intended for treating and preventing fungal infections only.
