CRESEMBA 100MG CAP 2X7'S

About

Cresemba 100mg Capsule is an antifungal medication that contains the active ingredient Isavuconazole. It is used to treat certain serious fungal infections, primarily invasive aspergillosis and invasive mucormycosis, which can be life-threatening and often affect individuals with weakened immune systems.

Cresemba may cause severe liver problems, so liver function tests are necessary before starting treatment. Inform your doctor if you have abnormal heart rhythms or severe liver disease. Stop taking this medicine if you develop any hypersensitivity reactions, such as skin rashes, but do not stop treatment unless your healthcare provider instructs you to.

It is important to inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, as certain drugs can affect how Cresemba works.
