How to Use Ampholip Injection
Ampholip 50 mg Injection must be administered by a healthcare professional. The exact dosage and frequency will depend on the severity of the infection and the patient’s condition. It is important that you follow your doctor’s instructions strictly, and do not self-administer this medication.
How Ampholip Injection Works
Ampholip 50 mg contains Amphotericin B, an antifungal that works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane. This damage to the membrane causes the contents of the fungal cells to leak out, ultimately leading to the death of the fungi. This process helps to clear the infection and prevent it from spreading further.
