Mycamine is used in babies, children and adults in the following situations: • to treat invasive candidiasis (a type of fungal infection caused by a yeast-like fungus called Candida). ‘ Invasive ’ means that the fungus has spread into tissue and blood vessels; • to prevent infection with Candida in patients who are having a bone marrow transplant (to treat bone marrow or blood problems, or certain types of cancer) or who are expected to have neutropenia (low levels of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell) for 10 days or more.
