JenniferG Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 We have been recommended to maybe start Amphotercin B. From what I read it sounds like big guns. Am I misled? The MD made it sound like it wasn't systemic.
susieq22 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 When taken orally, it is not absorbed into the bloodstream- it stays in the GI tract. The most common use is in it's IV form, where it is definitely "big guns" with many side effects and toxicity. My daughter has been on the oral capsules and has done well on them.
