Description:
Caspofungin is an antifungal medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as echinocandins.
It is used to treat serious fungal infections, including invasive aspergillosis, candidemia, and certain types of fungal infections in the abdomen, lungs, and esophagus.
Caspofungin works by inhibiting the synthesis of beta-(1,3)-D-glucan, a key component of the fungal cell wall.
By disrupting the cell wall structure, caspofungin weakens the fungal cells and ultimately leads to their death.
This mechanism of action makes caspofungin effective against a broad range of fungal species, including those that are resistant to other antifungal medications.
Caspofungin is typically administered intravenously by healthcare professionals in a hospital setting.
It is often used when other antifungal medications have failed or are not suitable due to resistance or intolerance.
Caspofungin is considered a first-line treatment for certain invasive fungal infections and is particularly useful in immunocompromised patients who are at higher risk of developing fungal infections.
Common side effects of caspofungin may include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, and abnormal liver function tests.
It is important to follow the dosage and administration instructions provided by a healthcare provider to ensure the effectiveness and safety of caspofungin therapy.
