Feedback:
Tioconazole may be given as one dose for treatment of vaginal candidal infection. Caspofungin is given IV to treat invasive aspergillosis in patients who did not respond to other treatments and would not be used for a vaginal candidal infection. Terbinafine is administered twice daily for 1 to 4 weeks to treat topical mycosis. Ketoconazole is administered orally or topically to treat aspergillosis, leishmaniasis, cryptococcosis, blastomycosis, moniliasis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, and mucormycosis but would not be used to treat vaginal candidal infections.
