Explanation:

• A commonly used antifungal medication in the treatment of fungal infections and leishmaniasis is Amphotericin B.
• It is found to be the second-best treatment option for dermatophytosis after terbinafine and echinocandins.
• It is the most recommended medication for cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, and blastomycosis.
• Amphotericin B is the drug used for the initial therapy of cryptococcosis.
• The most effective drug used for the treatment of dermatophytosis is found to be terbinafine.
• Amphotericin B is also been used as the primary treatment drug for cryptococcosis, thus implying its efficacy in the treatment.
• Because of the broad spectrum of action of amphotericin B, it is used in the treatment of cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, and blastomycosis, but the efficacy of the drug in the treatment of dermatophytosis is not found clearly so far.
