Uses

Your doctor may prescribe this medicine to treat several conditions, including:

  • Invasive aspergillosis: This is a severe fungal infection that typically affects the lungs of individuals with weakened immune systems. CRESEMBA 100MG CAPSULES helps target and eliminate the Aspergillus fungus to stop the infection from spreading to other parts of the body.
  • Invasive mucormycosis: This is a rare but highly serious fungal infection caused by mucormycete molds, often affecting the sinuses, brain, or lungs. CRESEMBA 100MG CAPSULES works to clear this aggressive infection and support the healing of affected tissues.

This medicine is most commonly prescribed for people with weakened immune systems, such as those who have received an organ or stem cell transplant, are being treated for certain blood cancers, or have other conditions that reduce the body's ability to fight infections. If this applies to you, follow your doctor's advice carefully, attend all follow-up appointments, and avoid exposure to environments where mold is common whenever possible.
