AmBisome® is indicated for the following:

  • Treatment of cryptococcal meningitis in HIV-infected patients (see Pivotal Trials).
  • Treatment of patients with Aspergillus species, Candida species and/or Cryptococcus species infections (see above for the treatment of cryptococcal meningitis) refractory to amphotericin B deoxycholate, or in patients where renal impairment or unacceptable toxicity precludes the use of amphotericin B deoxycholate.
