Product Details
Amphotericin B Injection is a prescription antifungal medication used for the treatment of severe systemic and potentially life-threatening fungal infections. It is especially useful in immunocompromised patients, such as those undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplantation, or living with HIV/AIDS. It functions by disrupting fungal cell membrane integrity, leading to fungal cell death. It is typically reserved for serious infections that do not respond to less toxic antifungal agents.
Indications
- Indicated for the treatment of systemic fungal infections such as cryptococcosis, candidiasis, aspergillosis, mucormycosis, histoplasmosis, and blastomycosis
- Effective in febrile neutropenia in immunocompromised patients suspected of fungal infection
- Used as part of combination therapy in certain parasitic infections like visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar)
- Particularly valuable in patients unresponsive or intolerant to conventional antifungal therapies
