Benefits of Amphipeg Injection

Treatment of Severe fungal infections

It usually makes you feel better very quickly, but you should continue taking it as prescribed even when you feel better to make sure that all the fungi and yeast causing the infection are killed and do not become resistant.

Treatment of Leishmaniasis.
Amphipeg 50mg Injection is an antibiotic medicine and is used to treat Leishmaniasis, also called kala-azar, a serious or life-threatening illness that is spread by a parasite that enters the human body by the bite of infected sand flies. It kills the infection-causing parasite and stops further spread of the infection. This medicine is given by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered. Refrain from taking any other medicines along with this medicine (unless advised by the doctor) as they may affect the absorption of this medicine. Do not use this medicine to treat any other condition without consulting your doctor.

How to use Amphipeg Injection

How Amphipeg Injection works

Amphipeg 50mg Injection works by binding to ergosterol, an important component of the cell membrane of fungi and the parasite that causes leishmaniasis. This binding creates pores in the membrane, leading to leakage of cell contents and death of the organism. The liposomal formulation helps deliver the drug more selectively to infected tissues, reduces toxicity to healthy cells, and improves safety, especially for the kidneys, while maintaining strong antifungal and antiparasitic activity.
