Sintesi
Fosphenytoin is converted to phenytoin, an inducer that can lower caspofungin concentrations. The clinical impact is uncertain but could reduce antifungal efficacy in serious infection.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Caspofungin and Fosphenytoin can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Caspofungin belongs to Anti Fungals; Fosphenytoin belongs to Central Nervous System.
Perché avviene
Phenytoin induces clearance pathways of caspofungin, lowering exposure.
Cosa fare
Caspofungin labeling suggests considering a daily dose of 70 mg when given with inducers such as phenytoin in patients not responding adequately. Monitor clinical response.
