Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Ambisome liposomal should be administered under medical supervision due to its potent nature. Patients with known allergies to Amphotericin B or any of the formulation components should avoid its use. Regular monitoring of kidney function is recommended during treatment.
