Accentia Pharmaceuticals is in the process of testing a new nasal spray called SinuNase which contains the active ingredient Amphotericin B. Why is this medication of interest to an ENT? Well, it would be one potential treatment for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis in which airborne fungus is the underlying cause of persistent sinusitis in spite of adequate antibiotic and surgical treatment.
This medication is currently undergoing Phase III FDA approval.
