Will it work?
Hi everyone,
I have ABPA (Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis) and I'm looking for treatment options.
I recently came to know that conventional Amphotericin B (deoxycholate) can be used through a nebulizer to help treat fungal infections in the lungs. I was told that:
The medicine costs around ₹200 per vial
A nebulizer machine costs around ₹1,000–₹1,500
I understand that Amphotericin B is not a standard treatment for ABPA, which is more of an allergic reaction to Aspergillus, not a direct fungal infection. However, since I have a kidney condition and cannot take oral antifungal medicines, I’m exploring inhaled options under medical supervision.
Is this approach safe or helpful for ABPA?
Has anyone here used nebulized Amphotericin B for ABPA or similar lung conditions?
Also, for nebulizer use, should I use the conventional or liposomal type?
