Echinocandin antifungal for Candida infections and prophylaxis.
Semi-synthetic echinocandin lipopeptide that inhibits β-1,3-D-glucan synthase, fungicidal against most Candida species.
- Invasive candidiasis
- Esophageal candidiasis
- Stem-cell transplant prophylaxis
- • FDA-approved.
- • Generally well-tolerated; monitor LFTs.
Endogenous nonapeptide that activates V1 vascular receptors to cause vasoconstriction and V2 renal receptors for water reabsorption. Used to raise blood pressure in catecholamine-resistant shock.
- Septic shock
- Cardiac arrest (historical)
- Diabetes insipidus
- • FDA-approved.
- • Ischemic complications possible at high doses.
