The composition may include an antifungal agent and hydrophobised chitosan. The antifungal agent can be in association with the hydrophobised chitosan, with the latter being more preferably in the particle form, or the antifungal agent can be encapsulated in particles including the hydrophobised chitosan. The use of the composition as an antifungal agent or in the treatment of fungal infections, and a method for manufacturing the composition are also described. |
