Instructions for use

  • Reconstitute the powder vial with 12 ml of water for injection to obtain a concentrated solution at 4 mg/ml amphotericin B.
  • Using a syringe, withdraw the required dose of concentrated solution.
  • Attach the filter provided with the vial to the syringe.
  • Through the filter, inject the contents of the syringe, into the required volume of 5% glucose (50, 250 or 500 ml) to obtain a solution for IV infusion between 0.2 and 2 mg/ml amphotericin B.

The liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome®) is better absorbed and has less risk of renal toxicity than the conventional amphotericin B (Fungizone®) for the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis.
