1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling the medicine.
2. Prepare the medicine: Ambisome Amphotericin B Liposome comes in a single-dose vial and should be kept in its protective foil pouch until ready to use. Do not open the foil pouch until the medicine is ready to be drawn into a syringe.
