It is widely used to treat and prevent many different fungal infections, such as lung, bladder and genital infections. Doctors also prescribe it to treat meningitis or to prevent fungal infections in patients considered to be at risk of infection due to a weaker than normal immune system, such as those undergoing cancer treatment or those affected by AIDS.
