Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I have a fundamental question about drug resistance that has been bothering me since I began taking antifungal medication six months ago. At one point, my fungus was found to be resistant to most of the " -azole " brands, so they were replaced by other drugs. Now I am worried if that was wise. If the fungus has become strong enough to overpower the effect of the azole drugs, will it not be even more powerful and dangerous if the azole drug is removed? I mean, doesn't the presence of the azole drug keep the damned fungus occupied, so that it has less power to develop resistance to the new drug that is being launched against it? Could perhaps a series of drugs to which the candida is resistant have an effect on it if they are taken simultaneously? Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
