Antifungal medication by Ray Sahelian, M.D.

Patients receiving intravenous treatment with the antifungal medication voriconazole may develop a range of neurological side effects, including auditory and visual hallucinations.

Oral antifungal medications
There are several oral antifungal onychomycosis treatment medications: griseofulvin, itraconazole, terbinafine, ketoconazole, and fluconazole. Griseofulvin is fungistatic and inhibits nucleic acid synthesis, arresting cell division at metaphase, and impairing fungal wall synthesis. Due to its low cure rates and high relapse, it is rarely used for treatment of onychomycosis. Itraconazole is a broad spectrum drug and is effective against dermatophytes, candida, and some nondermatophytic molds. Itraconazole works by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis via cytochrome P-450 dependent demethylation step.
