Amphoject IV Injection Amphotericin B Triamcinolone Acetonide
ModerateTriamcinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid, and so is hydrocortisone. Amphotericin B injection can also lower the potassium level in your blood. Taking triamcinolone acetonide with amphotericin B can therefore make your potassium fall too low (hypokalemia). If you use both, your doctor should keep a close watch on you for signs of this. In some reported cases, people who took amphotericin B together with hydrocortisone developed an enlarged heart and then congestive heart failure, where the heart cannot pump blood well enough.
These medicines are often taken together with some care. Your doctor may change a dose, space them apart or check on you more often. Make sure your doctor and pharmacist know you take both.
