Antifungal Treatment for Lip Infections

Primary Treatment Approach

• Oral fluconazole 100-200 mg daily for 7-14 days is considered for more severe or refractory cases of lip candidiasis, particularly if there is concurrent oropharyngeal involvement, as recommended by the Infectious Diseases Society of America 1, 2

Alternative Systemic Options

• Itraconazole solution 200 mg daily, posaconazole, or voriconazole are second-line systemic options for refractory disease, according to the Clinical Infectious Diseases guidelines 1, 3
