Furthermore, it can prevent fungal infections in high-risk bone marrow transplant recipients.

Take this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. Before starting, inform your doctor of any existing health conditions or medications you are taking. If you experience any side effects, contact your doctor immediately. For optimal results, it is crucial to continue the medication for the full duration prescribed by your doctor.

Prevents fungal growth: Disrupting the fungal cell membrane prevents the growth and spread of fungi, effectively managing the infection.
