Oral amphotericin B may be used to treat intestinal infections and does not have unpleasant side-effects like intravenous amphotericin B simply because it is not absorbed into the blood stream from the gut. Since oral amphotericin B is not absorbed from the gut, it can only be used to treat infections in the gut and not invasive aspergillosis.
