Caspoforce 70mg uses to treat:

• Invasive candidiasis (fungal infection in the bloodstream or internal organs)

• Esophageal candidiasis (infection in the food pipe)

• Invasive aspergillosis (serious fungal lung infection)

• Fungal infections in patients who do not respond to or cannot tolerate standard treatments

Caspoforce 70mg Injection targets the fungal cell wall by blocking the production of β-D-glucan, an essential component that helps maintain fungal structure and survival. By stopping this synthesis, the fungal cells become weak and eventually die, helping to eliminate the infection.

1. Cyclosporine (Severe)
   Using caspofungin with cyclosporine can increase liver enzyme levels and heighten the risk of liver injury. This combination should be avoided unless strictly necessary and closely monitored.

2. Rifampicin (Severe)
   Rifampicin can reduce caspofungin levels by speeding up its breakdown, potentially lowering its antifungal effect. Dose adjustments or alternative therapy may be required.

3. Tacrolimus (Moderate)
   Caspofungin may lower tacrolimus levels in the blood, affecting transplant rejection risk. Blood level monitoring is recommended during combined use.

4. Efavirenz / Nevirapine (Moderate)
   These antiretroviral medicines may decrease caspofungin concentration, reducing its efficacy. Doctors may adjust the dose or monitor response.

5. Dexamethasone (Moderate)
   Dexamethasone can mildly reduce caspofungin levels, which may impact its antifungal action. Monitoring for treatment response is advised.

6. Anticonvulsants like Phenytoin or Carbamazepine (Moderate)
   These medicines can enhance caspofungin metabolism, lowering its clinical effect. Dose modifications may be needed.

7. Calcium Channel Blockers (Mild)
   Drugs like verapamil or diltiazem may have minor interactions with caspofungin, sometimes affecting liver enzyme levels. Routine monitoring is generally sufficient.
