Summary:

Hypersensitivity is reported as a side effect among people who take Cancidas (caspofungin acetate), especially for people who are female, 10-19 old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Cytarabine, and have Bone marrow conditioning regimen.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Hypersensitivity when taking Cancidas. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 4,868 people who have side effects when taking Cancidas from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
