Inhaled Amphotericin B may be the answer to eradicating Allergic

Fungal Sinusitis. It has been proven that Amphotericin B kills

fungus and it is currently being used in liquid form by the

irrigation method (squirting it up your nose). Some patients find

this practice cumbersome, painful and sometimes messy. Aerosolized

Amphotericin B is an alternative that can be easily inhaled into the

sinuses as easily as smoking a cigarette, but without the side

effects of liquid irrigations. Aerosolized Amphotericin B can help

prevent and control Allergic Fungal Sinusitis.

Camarillo, CA (PRWEB) August 21, 2007 -- Inhaled Amphotericin B may

be the answer to eradicating Allergic Fungal Sinusitis. It has been

proven that Amphotericin B kills fungus and is currently being used

in liquid form by the irrigation method (squirting it up your nose).

Some patients find this practice cumbersome, painful and sometimes

messy. Aerosolized Amphotericin B is an alternative that can be

easily inhaled into the sinuses as easily as smoking a cigarette,

but without the side effects of liquid irrigations. Aerosolized

Amphotericin B can help prevent and control Allergic Fungal

Sinusitis.

This new aerosolized intranasal application, developed by Aerosol

Science Laboratories Inc. (Camarillo, CA) is an alternative approach

for successfully treating Allergic Fungal Sinusitis. The formulation

is available in 5mg and 10mg doses with a dosing frequency of 2-3

times per day. Amphotericin B is known for being an unstable drug;

however, ASL's formula is extremely stable in unit dose vials for 35

days at refrigerated temperatures. Each dose aerosolizes in only 3.5

minutes, which increases safety & patient compliance.

Unlike with the irrigation method, aerosolized Amphotericin B stays

in the sinuses and does not flow out during treatment, improving

patient compliance. For added safety and stability, each unit dose

vial is sealed in a non-latex plastic vial and is protected from

exposure to light.

Aerosol Science Laboratories has monitored patients on Amphotericin

B for the past 16 months and has observed these findings: 1)

Patients using aerosolized inhalant drugs easily accept and comply

with their therapy. 2) Aerosolized drugs are easy to administer at

a " mid-day " dose at work or school. Patients are often unlikely to

irrigate at work or school due to embarrassment or peer pressure. 3)

After symptoms subside, the dosing frequency can be reduced without

loss of effectiveness.

The most important features of ASL's new aerosolized inhalant

Amphotericin B formula are that 1) It is covered by most insurance

drug plans and patient co-payments are relatively small. 2) Patient

compliance is high due to the ease of use of the therapy. 3)

Clinical studies have proven the effectiveness of Amphotericin B in

eradicating fungus. 4) You do not have to be a sinus surgeon to

prescribe this therapy. Any MD can prescribe aerosolized medications

through ASL Pharmacy.

I used this drug with a nebulizer type machine in 2000. It helped

some but I was still in moldy place at the time. It would be

delivered refrigerated and I would put it in the fridge. I wish I

had it when I was out of the moldy place, but I am sure it is

expensive now, had insurance then.
