Liposomal amphotericin B

Liposomal amphotericin B is a powerful medication used to treat serious fungal infections. It contains an antifungal agent called amphotericin B, encapsulated within tiny fat-like particles called liposomes. These liposomes help deliver the drug directly to the infection site, increasing effectiveness and reducing side effects such as kidney damage. It is usually given through an IV in a hospital setting and is reserved for severe or life-threatening fungal infections when other treatments may not be effective. Overall, it’s an important tool in battling complex fungal diseases with improved safety compared to traditional formulations.
