Postgraduate certificate Advances in Antimycotics

Fungi are everywhere and some are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. Thus, an infection by these agents can cause discomfort such as irritation, rash and, in some cases, become more serious. Thus, over the years, antifungal agents have been developed to combat and destroy these infections. This program offers all the knowledge to specialize in this type of drugs, representing an opportunity to advance and fulfill the professional objectives of pharmacists.
