Telavancin

Telavancin is an antibiotic medication used to treat certain bacterial infections, particularly skin and respiratory infections caused by resistant bacteria like MRSA. It works by disrupting the bacteria’s cell wall, leading to their destruction. Telavancin is administered intravenously and is typically reserved for infections that don’t respond to other antibiotics. It is important to use it under medical supervision because it can have side effects and interact with other medications. Overall, telavancin helps combat serious bacterial infections when other treatments may not be effective.
