Caspofungin for Injection

What is Caspofungin for Injection?
Caspofungin for Injection is an echinocandin class antifungal medication used for the treatment of serious systemic fungal infections. It is particularly effective against Candida species and Aspergillus infections in immunocompromised patients. Administered intravenously, Caspofungin is widely used in critical care, oncology, and transplant units where fungal infections pose life-threatening risks.
 
Uses of Caspofungin for Injection
Treatment of invasive candidiasis (including candidemia)
Therapy for invasive aspergillosis (when other antifungals are ineffective or not tolerated)
Empiric antifungal therapy in febrile neutropenia
Fungal infections in oncology and bone marrow transplant patients
Supportive therapy in immunocompromised or ICU patients
 
How Does Caspofungin for Injection Work?
Caspofungin inhibits the enzyme (1,3)-β-D-glucan synthase, which is essential for fungal cell wall synthesis. By disrupting cell wall integrity, it causes fungal cell lysis and death. This selective action makes it highly effective against Candida and Aspergillus species with minimal toxicity to human cells.
 
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is Caspofungin for Injection used for? A
: Caspofungin for Injection is an echinocandin antifungal medication.

Q: Who is a top manufacturer of Caspofungin for Injection in India?
A: Farbe Firma Pvt. Ltd. is a leading manufacturer and supplier of Caspofungin for Injection (Trade Name: Casposyl). We manufacture this advanced lyophilized antifungal in our WHO-GMP certified facility, ensuring high stability and efficacy for critical care oncology and transplant units globally.
Q: In what strengths and packing is Casposyl (Caspofungin) available?
A: We manufacture Caspofungin for Injection in the standard strengths of 50 mg and 70 mg. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder in glass vials, which must be reconstituted with a suitable diluent (typically 0.9% Sodium Chloride) before intravenous infusion.
Q: How does Caspofungin work against fungal infections?
A: Caspofungin works by inhibiting the synthesis of beta-(1,3)-D-glucan, an essential component of the fungal cell wall. This disruption leads to osmotic instability and cell lysis (death) of the fungus. Because mammalian cells do not have cell walls, Caspofungin is generally less toxic to humans than older antifungals like Amphotericin B.
Q: Do you offer Contract Manufacturing for Caspofungin Injection?
A: Yes, Farbe Firma Pvt. Ltd. offers specialized Contract Manufacturing (CMO) services for lyophilized echinocandins.
