When applied topically - is practically not absorbed.
Description of the pharmacological actions:
It has fungicidal or fungistatic effect depending on the concentration in biological fluids and susceptibility. It is active against many pathogenic fungi, including Candida spp., Histoplasma capsulatum, Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus spp. or Leishmania.
Indications:
Candidiasis of the gastrointestinal tract, intestinal kandidonositelstvo, candidiasis of the internal organs, and chronic granulomatous form of disseminated candidiasis, coccidiosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, North American blastomycosis, chromomycosis, mold mycosis, sporotrichosis.

From the digestive tract: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, epigastric pain, elevated liver enzymes.
With the genitourinary system: renal dysfunction, including increasing the concentration of creatinine in serum, proteinuria, azotemia, acidosis.
Allergic reactions: skin rash, pruritus, angioedema, bronchoconstriction (inhalation).
Other: fever, chills, loss of appetite, disturbance of electrolyte composition of blood, including hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia thrombophlebitis at the injection site by inhalation possible sore throat, cough, runny nose.
When applied topically, no side effects characteristic of systemic action, but may cause allergic reactions.
Drug Interactions:
While the use of potentially nephrotoxic antibiotics, cyclosporin, diuretics increases the risk of nephrotoxicity. In an application with the means oppressive bone marrow, radiation therapy increases the risk of anemia and others. Hematological disorders. It could enhance effects of cardiac glycosides (especially against the background of potassium deficiency in the body) and non-depolarizing muscle relaxants peripheral. In an application with flucytosine lowers the ride height of the latter, as a result may increase the toxicity of flucytosine.
Dosage and administration:
. B / drip (20-30 drops / min) for 3-6 hr solution is prepared under sterile conditions immediately prior to use: the vial is added 5-10 ml of water for injection (sterile syringe through a puncture the rubber stopper, pre-treating it with alcohol ). For I / O administration, the concentration of 100-125 IU per 1 ml of solvent. The mixture was stirred until complete dissolution of the powder, the solution from the vial using a sterile needle dial syringe and poured into a bottle with 400 ml of sterile 5% glucose solution (in the amount of solvent to be dissolved up to 50,000 IU of antibiotic). The solution is prepared and protected from bright light indoors. In case of using the drug does not precipitate.
Individually adjusted dose rate of 250 U / kg. Prior to the introduction of pre-administered 100 U / kg (to identify individual tolerability) with good tolerance, lack of side effects and if necessary increase the dose up to 1000 IU / kg.
Before each administration set and exact mass of the patient, calculate the dose (250 IU drug per 1 kg of patient weight of 75 kg body weight).
The average total dose per course of treatment - 1500000-2000000 units (18-20 injections). The drug is administered in a day or 1-2 times a week (risk of accumulation). Duration of treatment - not less than 4-8 weeks (to prevent recurrence).
Children designate in the following daily doses (U / kg):
At the age of 1-3 years: 1 to 5 injections - 75-150 U / kg from 6 to 10 injections - 100-250 U / kg from 11 to 15 infusions - 150-350 U / kg from 16 to 20 infusions of 175- 400 U / kg.
At the age of 4-7 years: 1 to 5 injections - 100-200 U / kg from 6 to 10 injections - 150-300 U / kg from 11 to 15 infusions - 175-400 U / kg from 16 to 20 injections - 200 -500 U / kg.
