• Caspofungin is a powerful medication designed to fight serious fungal infections. It works in a very specific way that targets the building blocks of fungal cells. Unlike human cells, fungal cells have a sturdy outer layer called a cell wall. This wall is crucial for the fungus to maintain its shape, grow, and survive. Caspofungin attacks a vital substance in this wall called beta-(1,3)-D-glucan. By blocking the production of this substance, Caspofungin weakens the fungal cell wall significantly. Imagine trying to build a house without strong bricks – the structure becomes fragile and unstable. When the cell wall is weakened, the fungal cell can no longer grow properly and becomes much more vulnerable. In many cases, the weakened cell wall can even cause the fungal cell to burst and die. This direct attack on the fungus prevents the infection from spreading further throughout the body. With the fungal cells weakened or destroyed, the body's own immune system, our natural defense mechanism, finds it much easier to clear away the remaining infection and restore health. This targeted action makes Caspofungin an effective treatment for certain types of severe fungal infections.

• CASPOEVA 70MG INJECTION is always given by a trained healthcare professional, like a doctor or nurse, in a hospital or clinic setting. You will not administer this injection yourself at home. The medication is typically given directly into a vein, which is known as an intravenous (IV) infusion. This allows the medicine to enter your bloodstream quickly and start working. The specific dose of CASPOEVA 70MG INJECTION you receive, how it is given (though typically IV), and how often you get it will be carefully determined by your doctor. They will consider your specific medical condition, how severe it is, your overall health, weight, and how you respond to treatment. The length of your treatment will also be decided by your doctor based on your progress. It's important to attend all scheduled appointments to receive your dose as prescribed. Always discuss any concerns or questions about your treatment with your healthcare provider.
