Antimycotics for systemic use

Therapeutic indication

Mycamine is indicated for:

Adults, adolescents ≥ 16 years of age and elderly

  • treatment of invasive candidiasis;
  • treatment of oesophageal candidiasis in patients for whom intravenous therapy is appropriate;
  • prophylaxis of Candida infection in patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation or patients who are expected to have neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count < 500 cells/µl) for 10 or more days.

Children (including neonates) and adolescents < 16 years of age

  • treatment of invasive candidiasis.
  • prophylaxis of Candida infection in patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation or patients who are expected to have neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count < 500 cells/µl) for 10 or more days.

The decision to use Mycamine should take into account a potential risk for the development of liver tumours. Mycamine should therefore only be used if other antifungals are not appropriate.
