WHAT ECALTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
ECALTA contains the active substance anidulafungin and is prescribed
in adults and in paediatric
patients aged 1 month to less than 18 years to treat a type of fungal
infection of the blood or other
internal organs called invasive candidiasis. The infection is caused
by fungal cells (yeasts) called
_Candida_.
ECALTA belongs to a group of medicines called echinocandins. These
medicines are used to treat
serious fungal infections.
ECALTA prevents normal development of fungal cell walls. In the
presence of ECALTA, fungal cells
have incomplete or defective cell walls, making them fragile or unable
to grow.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU OR YOUR CHILD USE ECALTA
DO NOT USE ECALTA
-
if you are allergic to anidulafungin, other echinocandins (e.g.
caspofungin acetate), or any of the
other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist or nurse before using ECALTA.
Your doctor may decide to monitor you
-
for liver function more closely if you develop liver problems during
your treatment
-
if you are given anaesthetics during your treatment with ECALTA
-
