Therapeutic Indications and Dose Rates |  |
| Amphotericin B is used principally in the treatment of systemic mycotic infections. Despite its ability to cause nephrotoxicity (see below), amphotericin B remains a commonly used antifungal agent because of its effectiveness. Nystatin is primarily indicated for the treatment of mucocutaneous (skin, oropharynx, vagina) or intestinal candidiasis; pimaricin is mainly used in therapeutic management of mycotic keratitis. |
| A selection of general dosages for some polyene macrolide antibiotics is listed in Table:
Dose Rates of Polyene Macrolide Antibiotics. The dose rate and frequency should be adjusted as needed for the individual animal. |
