Kabifungin 50 MG Injection 1 ML contains Caspofungin Acetate (50 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Disrupts Fungal Cell Wall: Caspofungin Acetate works by interrupting the synthesis of beta-glucan. This substance is crucial for maintaining the rigidity and structure of a fungal cell wall.

• Weakens and Kills Fungal Cells: By blocking beta-glucan synthesis with Caspofungin Acetate, fungal cells become weak and fragile. This prevents their proper growth and eventually leads to their death.

• Prevents Spread of Infection: The action of Caspofungin Acetate not only kills existing fungal cells but also halts the further spread of the infection within your body.

• Store Kabifungin 50 MG Injection 1 ML as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
