About Caspofungin CAS 5 mcg

Caspofungin is an antifungal medication used to treat serious fungal infections, particularly those resistant to other antifungals. It works by inhibiting an enzyme in fungal cells responsible for their cell wall synthesis, disrupting the fungal cell and hindering its growth. Key characteristics and uses:

Mechanism of Action:Caspofungin is an echinocandin that inhibits 1,3--D-glucan synthase, an enzyme crucial for fungal cell wall synthesis.
Uses:It's used for treating serious fungal infections like invasive candidiasis (bloodstream infection), esophageal candidiasis, and invasive aspergillosis (lung infection), especially in individuals with weakened immune systems.
Administration:It's typically administered intravenously (IV).
Efficacy:It has shown effectiveness in treating infections caused by various Candida and Aspergillus species, including those resistant to other antifungals.
Safety:While generally well-tolerated, potential side effects may include infusion-related reactions (fever, chills, rash), nausea, and elevation of liver enzymes.
