both are anti fungal

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Tebinafine and fluconazole both are anti fungal drugs.
Fluconazole stops the fungal growth while tebinafine kills it.
Usually if we don't get good response with Fluconazole we give tebinafine.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
