Medical Description
Wofungin dry powder for injection is an antifungal medicine given in hospital to treat serious infections caused by Candida or Aspergillus. Its active ingredient is caspofungin acetate, which provides caspofungin to act against these fungi. Caspofungin blocks formation of a material that fungi need to keep their cell wall strong, so fungal cells become fragile and cannot grow normally. Wofungin injection is prepared and given into a vein by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic. It is used under close medical supervision for the patient's infection and overall condition.
