CASPOGIN 50

Caspogin 50 mg Injection belongs to the class of medicines known as ‘antifungals’ and is used to treat various fungal infections. A fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects any part of the body.

Caspogin 50 mg Injection contains Caspofungin, which works by inhibiting the formation of a fungal cell wall component essential for the fungus’s survival and growth. When exposed to Caspofungin, fungal cell walls become partial or faulty, rendering them fragile and unable to grow. This action ultimately leads to the killing of fungal cells or minimizes their growth.

A qualified healthcare professional will administer Caspogin 50 mg Injection. Some common side effects you might experience include injection site reactions, headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, tremors, sweating, high blood pressure, difficulty sleeping, and swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet. Most of these side effects are usually temporary and resolve over time without medical attention. However, if these side effects persist, you are advised to talk to your doctor.

Before taking Caspogin 50 mg Injection, inform your doctor about your medical condition, sensitivities, and all current medications. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Do not use any other medicines with Caspogin 50 mg Injection without a doctor’s recommendation.
