How Caspoactive Injection works
Caspoactive 70mg Injection works by targeting the protective outer wall of fungal cells, which is essential for their strength and survival. It blocks an enzyme called β-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase, responsible for making a key component of this wall. When this enzyme is blocked, the fungal cell wall becomes weak and leaky, causing the fungus to break apart and die. This helps the body fight off severe fungal infections more effectively and prevents their spread.
