Before using Amphotericin B Liposome, make sure to read the instructions provided by your doctor or on the packaging. Check the vial for any signs of damage and do not use if it is cracked or broken. Wash your hands thoroughly to prevent any contamination.

2. Reconstitution:
Amphotericin B Liposome vials contain lyophilized powder, which needs to be reconstituted before administration. Take a 10 mL sterile water for injection (SWFI) vial and remove the protective plastic cap. With a sterile needle and syringe, inject the SWFI into the Amphotericin B Liposome vial, slowly and with a swirling motion, until the powder is completely dissolved. The solution will appear cloudy and yellow. Do not shake the vial.

Once the solution is reconstituted, withdraw it into a syringe. Be sure to use a sterile syringe and needle to prevent any contamination.

4. Administration:

Before injecting the medication, make sure the injection site is clean and dry. Insert the needle into a large vein and slowly inject the medication over a period of 2-6 hours. Do not inject the medication all at once as it can lead to serious side effects.

5. Disposal:
Dispose of any unused portion of the medication, syringes, and needles properly according to your healthcare provider's instructions.

Make sure to complete the prescribed course of treatment, even if you start feeling better. Stopping the medication too soon may allow the infection to return or worsen. If you have any questions or concerns about using Amphotericin B Liposome, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
