Abelcet (amphotericin B) is infused intravenously (IV) by a healthcare provider to treat serious fungal infections. It's typically given to people who aren't able to tolerate the standard amphotericin B because of kidney problems, since it's less toxic to the kidneys. It can also be used by people for whom the standard amphotericin B didn't work well. The most common side effects are chills and fevers. Abelcet (amphotericin B) is brand only and can be expensive.
