Product Overview
About КАСПОФУНГІН-ВІСТА
КАСПОФУНГІН-ВІСТА is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Caspofungin, an echinocandin antifungal agent. It is used to treat various fungal infections, including invasive aspergillosis, candidemia, and esophageal candidiasis.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of invasive aspergillosis in patients who are refractory to or intolerant of other therapies.
- Treatment of candidemia and other forms of candida infections, including those in patients with central venous catheters.
- Treatment of esophageal candidiasis in patients with HIV/AIDS or other immunocompromised conditions.
Active Ingredient & Action
Caspofungin works by inhibiting the synthesis of beta-1,3-D-glucan, a critical component of the fungal cell wall. This leads to cell lysis and ultimately, the death of the fungal organism. Caspofungin is administered intravenously and has a rapid onset of action, with peak plasma concentrations achieved within 2-3 hours.
Important Notes
КАСПОФУНГІН-ВІСТА should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to echinocandins or other antifungal agents should not receive this medication. Common side effects include infusion site reactions, fever, and headache. More serious adverse reactions, such as liver damage and thrombocytopenia, have also been reported.
