Which medication group is typically prescribed for treating athletes foot and yeast infections?

  1. Antibiotics

  2. Reproductive hormones

  3. Antifungals

  4. Antidiabetics

The correct answer is: Antifungals

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections, not fungal infections like athletes foot and yeast infections. Reproductive hormones have no effect on these types of infections. Antidiabetics are used to treat diabetes, not fungal infections. Antifungals are specifically designed to target and treat fungal infections, making them the appropriate medication group for athletes foot and yeast infections.
