Per cosa si usa
Come agisce
A glycylcycline antibiotic that is structurally similar to tetracycline antibiotics; inhibits bacterial protein translation by binding to 30S ribosomal subunit, and blocks entry of amino-acyl tRNA molecules in ribosome A site.
Dose abituale nell'adulto (sintesi del foglio illustrativo)
Complicated Intra-abdominal Infections (Initial): 100 mg IV infusion, THEN 50 mg IV infusion q12hr for 5-14 days
Gravidanza e allattamento

- Allattamento
- Safe No human milk data; poorly absorbed orally, so infant exposure is expected to be low. US label: avoid breastfeeding for courses over 3 weeks; may pump and discard during and for 9 days after. LactMed: short courses probably acceptable; watch for rash, diarrhoea or thrush.
