Common effects of Caspofungin may include fever, headache, and nausea. Some patients may experience infusion-related reactions such as flushing or rash. These effects are generally mild and temporary, but any persistent or severe symptoms should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

Caspofungin should be used with caution in patients with a history of liver disease or hypersensitivity to similar medications. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions to minimize the risk of adverse effects. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting or stopping any medication.

Caspofungin may interact with certain medications, including cyclosporine and tacrolimus, which are commonly used to prevent organ transplant rejection. It is also important to avoid concurrent use with other antifungal drugs without medical supervision. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
