Micafungin Sodium for Injection is a potent echinocandin antifungal specifically designed for the treatment of serious fungal infections. This sterile powder, formulated for reconstitution, offers an effective solution for patients in need of robust antifungal therapy.

Uses: Micafungin is commonly used in the treatment of invasive candidiasis, including candidemia, and as a prophylactic measure in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It is also effective against esophageal candidiasis.

Dosage:

  • Invasive Candidiasis: 100 mg administered once daily via intravenous infusion.
  • Esophageal Candidiasis: 150 mg once daily.
  • Prophylaxis: 50 mg once daily.
  • Dosage should be tailored to the patient's specific condition and response.

CDC Guidelines: While the CDC provides general guidelines for antifungal use, it emphasizes the importance of susceptibility testing and adhering to established treatment protocols. Proper infusion techniques and safety measures should be observed to prevent systemic reactions.

  • Strength: 100 mg per vial
  • Formulation: Sterile powder for reconstitution
  • Class: Echinocandin antifungal

  • Reconstitute the powder with sterile water following aseptic technique.
  • Administer via intravenous infusion over approximately one hour.
  • Follow healthcare provider instructions and institutional protocols for dosing and administration.
