Fungicidal
This section is about defining words
that describe the actions (effects) of both pharmaceutical drugs
and natural remedies. See the left-hand side for a list of words defined here.
The word fungicidal refers to therapeutic agents - including natural substances
such as
herbs, oils, or essences, or conventional pharmaceutical drugs, that kill or destroy fungal infections. Some text describe the action
of fungicidal agents as "combating or preventing" fungal
infections.
The meaning of the term fungicidal is easily remembered
from its form:
- The -cidal part of the word refers to the fact that this agent
kills/destroys something, and
- the fungi- part of the word indicates that the something
it kills is "fungi".
Note that another term whose meaning is the same as fungicidal is antifungal.
