Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Haxdrax Work?
Amphotericin B lipid complex works by binding to ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. This binding creates pores in the membrane, leading to leakage of essential cellular components and ultimately causing cell death. The lipid formulation of amphotericin B allows for targeted delivery to fungal cells while reducing toxicity to human cells, which helps mitigate some of the side effects commonly associated with amphotericin B.
Common Dosages
- For invasive fungal infections: The usual dose is 5 mg/kg administered via intravenous infusion once daily. Dosing may be adjusted based on clinical response and tolerance.
Typical Dosing
- For invasive fungal infections: Administer 5 mg/kg intravenously once daily. The dose may be increased based on individual patient needs and the physician's assessment.
Typical Dosing
