indication

It is used for visceral or systemic infection caused by cryptococcus, coccidiosporum, histoplasma capsulatum, blastomyces, sporotrichum, candida, mucor, aspergillus, etc.

Usage and dosage

Announce
edit
1. Static drip:
(1) From a small dose, it is generally increased by 1mg, 3mg, 5mg, 10mg, and gradually increased to 0.7mg/(kg · d). The initial dose increase should be slow, and the incremental speed can be appropriately accelerated when the patient's response is not obvious.
(2) Amphotericin B is dissolved into 500ml of 5% glucose injection each time, and it is dropped within 6-8 hours. Select glucose injection at pH5.5. If it is lower than pH5.3, the stability of the main drug will decline. If the pH is low, adjust its pH value with sodium bicarbonate injection.
(3) When the patient's reaction is obvious during the medication, a small dose of glucocorticoid (such as dexamethasone 1~2mg) can be used to antagonize it.
(4) In order to prevent chills and high fever, 1/3 of indomethacin suppository can be given by rectum 20~30 minutes before medication.
(5) Amphotericin B is unstable to light, and infusion should be conducted in a dark place.
(6) The liver and kidney functions and electrolytes should be monitored during medication.
(7) The total amount of amphotericin B is generally 2-3 g.
2. Atomization inhalation
It is applicable to cases of lung and bronchial infection. 5~10mg a day, dissolved in 100~200mL of water for injection, used 4 times;
3. Local focus injection
The concentration is 1~3mg/mL, once every 3~7 days, and a small amount of procaine injection can be added if necessary; For fungal empyema and arthritis, 5~10mg of drug can be injected after local pus extraction, 1-3 times a week.

Adverse reactions

The toxicity is relatively high, which can cause fever, chills, headache, anorexia, nausea, vomiting and other reactions. Intravenous administration can cause thrombophlebitis, and intrathecal injection can cause back and lower limb pain. It can damage the kidney and cause proteinuria and tubular urine. If urea nitrogen>20mg/dl or creatinine>3mg/dl is found in regular inspection, measures should be taken to stop the drug or reduce the dose. There were also leukopenia, anemia, blood pressure decrease or increase, liver damage, diplopia, peripheral neuritis, skin rash and other reactions. During the trial period, the heart rate may be accelerated, even ventricular fibrillation, which is mostly related to the high concentration, fast speed and excessive dosage of the injected solution, as well as the patient's low blood potassium.

matters needing attention

Hypokalemia may occur during the use of this product, which should be paid great attention to and potassium supplement in time. This product is easy to degrade in the solution with strong acidity, and the pH value of glucose injection used is 5.5. This product is highly toxic, and can cause fever, nausea, vomiting and other adverse reactions. Intrathecal injection can cause back and lower limb pain; It can cause kidney damage such as proteinuria, and should be checked regularly. When urea nitrogen>20mg/dl or creatinine>3mg/dl, the drug should be stopped or the dose should be reduced. There are also leukopenia, decreased or increased blood pressure, liver damage, diplopia, peripheral neuritis, skin rashes, etc. During the use, the heart rate may be accelerated, even ventricular fibrillation, which is mostly related to the high concentration, fast speed, excessive dosage of the injected solution, and the patient's low blood potassium. During the treatment period, the blood, urine routine, liver, kidney function, blood potassium, electrocardiogram, etc. shall be followed up regularly and closely. If the blood urea nitrogen or creatinine significantly increases, the treatment shall be reduced or suspended until the kidney function recovers.

Drug contraindication

It is forbidden for people allergic to this product and patients with severe liver disease. Use with caution in patients with liver and kidney dysfunction.

Drug interaction

1. When combined with fluorocytosine, the efficacy of the two drugs is enhanced, but the toxicity of fluorocytosine is enhanced.
2. When combined with adrenocortical hormone, it may aggravate the hypokalemia induced by amphotericin B.
3. The combination of this product with azole antifungal drugs can reduce the antibacterial efficacy.
4. Combined with other nephrotoxic drugs, such as aminoglycosides, anti-tumor drugs, vancomycin, etc., can aggravate nephrotoxicity.
