MICEDGE 50MG/VIAL INJECTION

Your doctor may prescribe MICEDGE 50MG/VIAL INJECTION to help manage or prevent certain serious fungal infections:

• Invasive candidiasis: MICEDGE 50MG/VIAL INJECTION treats serious Candida infections that affect the blood or other parts of the body.
• Oesophageal candidiasis: This medicine treats Candida infection of the food pipe, helping clear the infection and allowing symptoms such as painful or difficult swallowing to improve.
• Prevention of Candida infections: It may help prevent Candida infections in certain people at high risk, such as those undergoing a stem cell transplant.
• Invasive aspergillosis: Micafungin may be considered in certain cases of invasive Aspergillus infection, depending on local approval, previous treatment, and your doctor's clinical judgement.

MICEDGE 50MG/VIAL INJECTION helps treat or prevent serious fungal infections in people who need an antifungal medicine given directly into the bloodstream.

• Controls serious fungal infections: This medicine damages fungal cells, helping clear infections that may affect the blood, food pipe, or other parts of the body.
• Helps relieve infection-related symptoms: As the infection improves, symptoms such as fever, chills, or painful swallowing may also improve.
• Protects people at high risk: It can help prevent Candida infections in certain people whose immune defences are weakened, such as those undergoing a stem cell transplant.
• Provides an intravenous treatment option: Because it is given directly into a vein, it can be used when intravenous antifungal treatment is needed.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• MICEDGE 50MG/VIAL INJECTION is administered by the doctor or healthcare professional.
• Do not self-administer.

• Eat a balanced diet: Choose nutritious foods that provide enough protein, vitamins, and minerals to support your general health during treatment.
• Stay hydrated: Drink enough fluids unless your healthcare team has advised you to limit them.
• Follow food-safety advice: If your immune system is weakened, follow your healthcare team's advice about safely preparing and storing food to reduce your risk of other infections.
• Maintain good oral care: If you have soreness or difficulty swallowing due to oesophageal candidiasis, gentle mouth care may help keep your mouth comfortable.
• Keep follow-up appointments: Attend scheduled blood tests and medical reviews so your healthcare team can check your response to treatment and identify possible side effects.

• Report allergy symptoms: Tell your healthcare team immediately if you develop difficulty breathing, swelling, severe dizziness, or a widespread rash during or after the infusion.
• Mention previous antifungal allergies: Tell your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to micafungin or another echinocandin antifungal, such as caspofungin or anidulafungin, as a reaction to related medicines may be possible.
• Keep up with blood tests: Your doctor may check your liver function, kidney function, blood cell counts, or other blood tests during treatment.
• Report liver symptoms: Consult your doctor right away if you develop yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, severe tiredness, or other symptoms that could suggest a liver problem.
• Watch the infusion site: Tell your healthcare professional if you develop pain, redness, burning, or swelling where the medicine enters your vein.
• Complete your treatment: Continue treatment for as long as your doctor recommends, even if your symptoms improve before the course is finished.
• Share your medicine list: Tell your healthcare team about all medicines, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you use so they can check for possible interactions.
