Medical Description

Mycamine powder for injection is used to treat serious Candida fungal infections and to prevent Candida infections in selected people undergoing blood-forming stem cell transplantation. It contains micafungin sodium, an antifungal medicine that weakens the protective cell wall of fungi. By stopping this wall from forming, it prevents susceptible Candida from growing and surviving. The prevention use is for selected high-risk patients, including those with low white blood cell counts. After preparation, the medicine is infused into a vein by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic and must not be self-injected.

How does this medicine work?

Micafungin blocks production of an essential part of the fungal cell wall. Without this protective structure, Candida cells become damaged and cannot continue growing.

In particular, mention sirolimus and other immunosuppressants, itraconazole and other antifungal medicines, amphotericin B, nifedipine and blood-thinning injections such as bemiparin, certoparin, dalteparin, enoxaparin and nadroparin.
