Abstract
Amphotericin B (AmB) is a broad-spectrum and potent polyene antifungal drug for the treatment of invasive fungal diseases (IFDs). Currently, amphotericin B deoxycholate (AmB-D) and three AmB lipid formulations, namely liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB), amphotericin B colloidal dispersion (ABCD), and amphotericin B lipid complex (ABLC) are available for clinical use. In view of clinical concerns and misperceptions in the selection of different formulations of AmB, the present consensus summarized their pharmaceutical characteristics, antifungal mechanism, pharmacokinetics/phamacodynamics, drug interactions, indications, dosage, local administration, and adverse reactions based on the latest clinical research evidence, guidelines, and clinical experience. This consensus also recommends formulation selection and dosage adjustment for the treatment of target IFDs and in special populations, thereby providing expert consensus for clinical decision-making and standardized application of AmB.
