Echinocandins: Mechanism of action, side effects and orgranisms affected (mnemonic)

To easily remember anything related to Echinocandins (eg: Caspofungin, Micafungin) , just think of the letters "C, A and N"  => CAN :D

=> EchinoCANdins.
=> Inhibit synthesis of B-gluCAN. 
=> Used in CANdida and a thing that CAN invade your body (invasive aspergillosis).
=> CAN make you flush ( due to histamine release).

    Great mnemonic! 🧠 Makes remembering Echinocandins’ action so much easier. Just like a Switchgear Manufacturer in Karachi ensures precise and reliable electrical control, mnemonics like this ensure our knowledge stays accurate and ready when we need it. Thanks for sharing, Murad!
