It may lead to a few common side effects like decreased potassium levels in the blood, nausea, diarrhea, headache, and vomiting. You may also notice some injection site reactions like pain, swelling, or redness. Inform your doctor if these side effects persist. Please consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding.
Anidulafungin inhibits glucan synthase, an enzyme important in the formation of (1→3)-β-D-glucan, a major fungal cell wall component. Glucan synthase is not present in mammalian cells, so it is an attractive target for antifungal activity.
This was expected based on the pharmacokinetic characteristics of anidulafungin. It is known that anidulafungin undergoes slow chemical degradation to produce a ring-opened peptide that lacks antifungal activity, which is subsequently converted to peptidic degradants and eliminated in feces.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
