Product Introduction
Amphotericin B 50mg is a conventional amphotericin B antifungal used for serious systemic fungal infections. It is a different formulation from liposomal amphotericin B.
How to use
It is reconstituted, diluted and infused slowly into a vein. Fluid balance, kidney function, potassium and magnesium are followed throughout the course.
How it works
Amphotericin B binds ergosterol in fungal cell membranes, forming channels that allow essential cell contents to leak out.
Side effects
Infusion-related fever, chills, nausea and headache are common. Kidney injury, low potassium or magnesium and anaemia can develop.
Important information
Conventional and liposomal amphotericin B have different dosing and preparation requirements and must not be substituted milligram for milligram.
Uses
- Serious systemic infections caused by susceptible fungi.
Benefits
Provides broad antifungal activity for potentially life-threatening infections when systemic treatment is required.
Is this the same as liposomal amphotericin B?
No. Their formulations, dosing and toxicity profiles differ, despite containing the same antifungal ingredient.
Why are potassium and magnesium measured?
The medicine can increase kidney losses of these electrolytes, which can affect muscles and heart rhythm.
Can chills occur during an infusion?
Yes. Infusion reactions are recognised and may require a change in infusion rate or supportive medicines.
Why are kidney blood tests repeated?
Kidney injury can emerge during treatment, and the results guide fluid management and treatment adjustments.
