  • To provide a comprehensive overview organized by route of administration.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent developments in antifungal drug delivery.
  • Analysis of alternative and improved traditional administration routes.
  • Organization of findings based on the route of administration.

Main Results:

  • Development and investigation of novel routes for antifungal drug delivery.
  • Enhancements in intravenous, oral, and topical antifungal therapies.
  • Facilitation of therapeutic use for new and reformulated antifungal agents.

Conclusions:

  • Significant progress has been made in antifungal drug delivery.
  • New methods and improved traditional routes offer better therapeutic options.
  • Clinicians benefit from a wider range of effective antifungal administration strategies.
