CASPOGIN 50 INJECTION

How CASPOGIN 50 INJECTION Works

• CASPOGIN 50 INJECTION is an antifungal medication that specifically targets and eliminates fungal infections. It achieves this by disrupting the synthesis of a crucial component of the fungal cell wall. Fungi, like all cells, need a protective barrier to survive and thrive. This barrier, known as the cell wall, is essential for their structure, integrity, and ability to withstand external pressures.
• CASPOGIN 50 INJECTION inhibits the production of beta-1,3-D-glucan, a polysaccharide that is a vital building block of the fungal cell wall. Without sufficient beta-1,3-D-glucan, the fungus cannot construct a stable and functional cell wall. This disruption weakens the cell wall, making the fungal cell vulnerable and unstable.
• As a result, the fungal cell becomes leaky and prone to damage. The internal contents of the cell spill out, and the fungus is unable to maintain its shape or carry out essential functions. Ultimately, the compromised cell wall leads to the death of the fungus, effectively clearing the infection. This mechanism of action makes CASPOGIN 50 INJECTION a targeted and effective treatment for various fungal infections.

• Prior to starting CASPOGIN 50 INJECTION, inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, herbal supplements, and vitamins. Certain medications may interact with CASPOGIN 50 INJECTION, potentially affecting its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.
• Follow your doctor's instructions regarding diet and lifestyle modifications during treatment. These measures can help support your overall health and well-being and may improve your response to the medication.
