Amfocan 50 MG Injection 1 contains amphotericin B (50 mg). The activity of this medicine can be explained as follows:

• Binding to Ergosterol: Amphotericin B works by binding to ergosterol, a type of steroid found in the cell membranes of fungi and parasites.

• Destruction of Cell Membranes: By binding to ergosterol, amphotericin B creates pores in the cell membrane, leading to ion leakage. This process eventually causes the death of the fungal or parasitic cells.
