About Amphodex 50mg Injection 1's

Amphodex 50mg Injection 1's 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. 

Amphodex 50mg Injection 1's 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.

Amphodex 50mg Injection 1's 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.

However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
