Cagin 50 mg Injection 1's

Cagin 50 mg Injection 1's belongs to the class of medicines known as 'antifungals' used to treat various fungal infections. A fungal infection is caused when a fungus invades and affects any body part.

Cagin 50 mg Injection 1's contains Caspofungin, which inhibits the formation of a fungal cell wall component required for the fungus to continue living and growing. When fungal cells are exposed to Caspofungin, their cell walls become partial or faulty, making them fragile and unable to grow. As a result, fungal cells get killed, or their growth is minimized.
