What is Noxafil. Noxafil (generic name posaconazole) is an azole antifungal medication that is used primarily to treat fungal infections in patients with weakened immune systems.

Noxafil works by stopping growth of fungi and thus allowing the immune system to dispose of the infection. It is also sometimes used to treat fungal infections in the mouth and throat.
