Medical Description

Bdcaspo Dry powder for injection is an antifungal medicine used to treat serious fungal infections in the bloodstream, deep tissues, food pipe, lungs or other organs. It contains caspofungin, which blocks a substance fungi need to build and maintain their protective cell wall. Without this wall, fungal cells become weak and stop growing, allowing the body to clear the infection. This powder is prepared and given through a vein by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic for adults and children with serious infections, including people with weakened immune systems. It may also be used when a fungal infection is suspected in a person with fever and a low white blood cell count after antibacterial treatment has not helped.

Uses

  • Invasive candidiasis: This serious yeast infection enters the bloodstream or deep tissues, and this medicine helps clear it before it spreads further.
  • Oesophageal candidiasis: Fungal infection of the food pipe can cause painful or difficult swallowing; this medicine treats the infection and supports symptom relief.
  • Invasive aspergillosis: Serious mould infection in the lungs or other organs may be treated when other treatments have failed or cannot be tolerated.
  • Febrile neutropenia: Ongoing fever with a low white blood cell count may signal a hidden fungal infection; this medicine treats suspected serious fungal infection when antibacterial treatment has not helped.

  • Headache, dizziness or tremor: These effects can make you unsteady or shaky; sit down and tell the healthcare team if they are severe.
  • High blood pressure or swelling: Blood pressure may rise or the hands, ankles or feet may swell; report chest discomfort or sudden worsening swelling.

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Caspofungin should generally be avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor decides that treatment is necessary after considering the possible risks and benefits.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Do not breastfeed while receiving caspofungin unless your doctor specifically advises that it is appropriate, because the effect on a breastfed baby is not known.

Driving

Driving

Do not drive if you feel dizzy, weak or otherwise unable to react safely after treatment.

Alcohol

Alcohol

The effect of alcohol with Bdcaspo injection is not established. Ask your doctor before drinking alcohol during treatment.

Directions for Use

This injection will be given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic. Do not self-inject. The powder must be prepared by a healthcare professional and administered through a vein exactly as prescribed.

Storage and disposal

Store the unopened powder in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C unless the hospital gives different handling instructions. Keep it out of the reach of children. Healthcare staff will dispose of prepared solution and unused medicine safely.

Quick Tips

  • Attend every planned hospital visit so treatment and blood tests can be monitored.
  • Tell the healthcare team about liver disease, kidney disease, previous antifungal reactions and all medicines you use.
  • Report rash, facial swelling or breathing difficulty immediately during or after the infusion.
  • Get emergency medical help for breathing difficulty or swelling of the face, lips or throat.
  • Do not attempt to prepare or inject the powder yourself.

Dosage

Overdose

The injection is given by trained healthcare staff, so overdose is monitored in the clinic. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

The active ingredient, caspofungin, blocks an enzyme fungi need to make beta-glucan, a strengthening material in their outer cell wall. Without enough beta-glucan, the wall becomes weak and leaky, so fungal cells cannot grow normally and may break apart. Human cells do not have this type of wall, which allows the medicine to target fungal cells.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Bdcaspo injection works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, mention cyclosporine or tacrolimus used after transplant or to suppress immunity; efavirenz or nevirapine used for human immunodeficiency virus infection; phenytoin or carbamazepine for seizures; dexamethasone; and rifampicin, because these medicines can change the amount of caspofungin in the body or require closer monitoring.
