Levorin is a polyene antibiotic of natural origin with antifungal activity. Structurally, the drug has 2 components: 7α and 7β. These components make the active substance more effective. The bifurcated structure helps the active elements of the drug be absorbed faster. The antimycotic antibiotic Levorin is active against mold and yeast fungi, dermatophytes, pathogens of deep mycoses, candidiasis (mainly in patients with immunodeficiency), as well as against pathogens of systemic mycoses: hyphae and spores of the fungus A. fumigatus or, when administered intravenously, Scedosporium proliens.

If the regimen is repeated, photosensitivity may occur and liver function disorders may occur. Thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, hemolytic anemia, bone marrow aplasia, and granulocytic anemia rarely occur.
