How do I get rid of Candida albicans?

Since Candida is a fungus, an antifungal medicine treats the infection to stop overgrowth. Antifungal medications come in two forms:

• Oral: Medicine taken by mouth (tablet, liquid or lozenge).
• Topical: Medicine applied directly to the affected area (creams or ointments).

Your healthcare provider will give you directions on how to use each type of antifungal medication to make sure the infection clears up and doesn’t return.
