What are the strongest (in general) antifungal drugs other than
Amphotericin B? I'm on Sporanox right now, I'd like a list of the drugs
more powerful than that (in general). Thanks for the help!!!

Its not a matter of power, its a matter of susceptibility of particular
fungi. ie; important drugs are caspofungin, voriconazole, fluconazole,
itraconazole, miconazole, clotrimazole, ketoconazole, 5-fluorocytosine,
amphotericin B also comes in lipid formations, ie; abelcet and other brands
of amphotericin encased in lipids, and griseofulvin.
