Medical Description
Gufisome Dry powder for injection is used to treat severe fungal infections and visceral leishmaniasis, a serious parasitic infection affecting internal organs. It contains liposomal amphotericin B, an antifungal medicine enclosed in tiny fat-like particles for delivery through the body. Amphotericin B binds to a substance in fungal cell membranes and makes openings that cause the fungal cells to die. Gufisome injection is prepared and given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic, with treatment checks arranged by the medical team.
