Sporanox is commonly used to treat a variety of fungal infections that may affect different areas of the body. It is prescribed to treat fungal nail infections, which usually appear as a change in the color or shape of the nails, and to treat conditions such as fungal skin infections, vaginal infections caused by fungi, and fungal infections of the mouth and throat.
Sporanox is also used to treat more complex conditions such as systemic fungal infections that may affect internal organs, especially in patients with weakened immune systems. It may also sometimes be prescribed to prevent fungal infections in people who are more susceptible to them due to receiving chemotherapy or organ transplantation.
