Antifungal effect of atorvastatin in comparison with fluconazole on Candida species isolated from patients undergoing head-and-neck radiotherapy
According to the results, fluconazole has antifungal effects comparable to those of atorvastatin, but in much lower doses. Atorvastatin showed optimal antifungal effects but in doses beyond the clinically applicable threshold.
