FUNGIZONE INTRAVENOUS Chemical Properties
Fungizone Intravenous(58501-21-6)'s molecular formula is C47H73NO17 C24H40O4 Na and its formula weight is1339.84.
Fungizone Intravenous(58501-21-6) has a melting point of 1140.4°C at 760 mmHg. Its flash point is 643.5 °C.
FUNGIZONE INTRAVENOUS Uses
Fungizone Intravenous(58501-21-6) should be administered primarily to patients with progressive, potentially fatal infections. This potent drug should not be used to treat the common non-invasive fungal infections such as oral thrush, vaginal cadidiasis and oesophageal candidiasis in pateints with normal neutrophil counts.
Fungizone Intravenous(58501-21-6) is specifically intended to treat potentially life-threateing fungal infections:
cryptococcosis (torulosis); North American blastomycosis; the disseminated forms of moniliasis (candidiasis), coccidioidomycosis and histoplasmosis; mucormycosis (phycomycosis) caused by susceptible species of the genera Mucor, Rhizopus, Absidia, Entomophthora, and Basidiobolus; sporotrichosis (Sporothrix schenckii); aspergillosis (Aspergillus fumigatus).
Amphotericin B may be helpful in the treatment of American mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, but is not the drug of choice in primary therapy.

FUNGIZONE INTRAVENOUS Specification
WARNINGS
This drug should be used primarily for treatment of patients with progressive and potentially fatal fungal infections; it should not be used to treat the common clinically inapparent forms of fungal disease which show only positive skin or serologic tests.
Amphotericin B may be the only effective treatment available for a potentially fatal disease. In each case, therefore, its possible life saving effect must be balanced against its untoward and dangerous effects.
