About Fungofine 50Mg Combipack Infusion

Fungofine 50Mg Combipack Infusion belongs to the group of medicines called anti-fungal agents indicated in the treatment of fungal infections caused by fungal or yeast cells called Candida. It is effective in treating systemic infections (those that have penetrated within the body). 

Fungofine 50Mg Combipack Infusion contains Micafungin, which works by interfering with the production of a part of the fungal cell wall that is necessary for the fungus to survive and grow. Thereby, it helps treat fungal infections.
