Amphotericin B Medicines

Amphotericin B medicines are a class of antifungal medications used to treat serious and potentially life-threatening fungal infections. They work by binding to a component of the fungal cell membrane and disrupting its integrity, leading to the death of the fungus. This class of drugs is often considered a last resort for treating fungal infections, as they can have significant side effects and can be toxic to the kidneys and other organs. These medicines are typically administered intravenously and are commonly used to treat infections such as aspergillosis, cryptococcal meningitis, and candidiasis.
