ABELCET is a prescription medication primarily used in the treatment of severe fungal infections. It belongs to a class of drugs known as antifungals and works by stopping the growth of fungi, thereby helping to control infections. ABELCET is specifically formulated as a lipid complex, which allows for the active ingredient, amphotericin B, to be delivered more effectively to the site of infection with potentially fewer side effects compared to the conventional form of amphotericin B. This medication is usually administered intravenously in a hospital or clinical setting under the supervision of healthcare professionals. ABELCET is often reserved for use in patients who are critically ill or have failed to respond to other antifungal treatments, highlighting its importance in the management of serious fungal infections.
