Teicoplanin is a glycopeptide antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It helps address many types of infections, including:

  • bones
  • joints
  • lungs (pneumonia)
  • urinary system
  • abdominal wall (peritonitis)
  • heart (endocarditis)

Teicoplanin also treats various bacterial infections, including skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections and respiratory tract infections. It is effective against infections caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). It kills bacteria by hindering their survival by blocking the construction of their vital protective shield (cell wall).

Administration of Teicoplanin

For safe and effective administration, it should be delivered intravenously under the care of a medical professional. Be sure not to administer the medication by yourself. The severity of your illness, age and weight determine the dose and duration of your therapy. It is typically prescribed once daily but may be given twice daily in extreme infections.
