When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Amphotericin B lipid complex may depress red blood cell production and occasionally causes a normocytic, normochromic anemia. A 4% incidence was reported during clinical trials. Although the anemia is generally well tolerated and reverses completely after discontinuation of therapy, it may be problematic in patients with preexisting anemia. Therapy with amphotericin B lipid complex should be administered cautiously in anemic patients. Frequent blood counts and hematocrit levels are recommended.
