SUITE 1, MATHESON BLVD. E MISSISSAUGA, ON L4W 4M8 DATE OF PREPARATION: APRIL 15, 2013 CONTROL NO. 141661 2 PRODUCT MONOGRAPH PR AMPHOTERICIN B FOR INJECTION, USP For intravenous infusion THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION Antifungal Agent ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Amphotericin B is fungistatic or fungicidal depending on the concentration obtained in body fluids and the susceptibility of the fungus. It has been shown to exhibit a high order of _in vitro_ activity against a broad spectrum of yeast and fungi. The drug probably acts by binding to sterols present in the membrane of sensitive fungi, with the resultant change in permeability allowing leakage of a variety of small molecules. Since mammalian cell membranes also contain sterols, it has been suggested that the damage to human cells and fungal cells may share common mechanisms. Following intravenous infusion, the antibiotic is slowly excreted by the kidneys, and demonstrable blood levels persist for at least 18 hours after the infusion is discontinued. INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE Amphotericin B for Injection, USP is specifically intended for the treatment of disseminated mycotic infections, including coccidioidomycosis; cryptococcosis (torulosis); disseminated candidiasis, histoplasmosis, South American leishmaniasis, North and South American blastomycosis; mucormycosis (phycomycosis) caused by species of the genera Mucor, Rhizopus, Absidia, Entomophthora, and Basidiobolus, sporotrichosis ( _Sporotrichum schenckii_ ), and aspergillosis ( _Aspergillus fumigatus_ ). OTHER CLINICAL USES Limited studies have shown that amphotericin B powder for injection may be useful when administered by routes other than intravenous for the treatment of certain types of fungal infections. 1.
