Casfung 50 Injection
Casfung 50 Injection Casfung 50 contains Caspofungin Acetate, an echinocandin antifungal drug administered via intravenous infusion. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of $\beta$-(1,3)-D-glucan, an essential component of the fungal cell wall. By disrupting this structural integrity, the fungal cell wall becomes compromised, leading to osmotic lysis and cell death. It is primarily used to treat severe, invasive fungal infections such as candidiasis, invasive aspergillosis in patients resistant or intolerant to other therapies, and empirical treatment for presumed fungal infections in neutropenic patients.
