About Ambisome Injection

Ambisome Injection belongs to a class of medication called 'antifungal' used to treat severe fungal infections like leishmaniasis. A fungal infection is a disease in which fungi attack the tissue and cause infection. Fungi are commonly present in nature but do not cause infections normally. However, if the person has a weak immune system, certain types of fungi may infect them.

Ambisome Injection contains Amphotericin B, which kills fungi by destroying the fungal outer cell membrane. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents.

Ambisome Injection is given by a doctor or nurse. In some cases, you may experience fever, chills, irregular heartbeat, high or low blood pressure, breathing problems, nausea, vomiting, headache, shaking, muscle cramps or pain. Most of these side effects of Ambisome Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Ambisome Injection or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Ambisome Injection. Ambisome Injection is not recommended for children below one month as the safety and effectiveness were not established. Avoid driving after taking Ambisome Injection as it may affect your ability to drive. If you experience severe adverse effects such as chest pain or difficulty in breathing, or encephalopathy (a brain disease which may cause you to behave strangely, be confused or feel drowsy), seek immediate medical help.
