TEICOS
Teicoplanin 400mg Injection
Overview:
Teicoplanin is a glycopeptide antibiotic primarily used for severe Gram-positive bacterial infections. It is structurally similar to vancomycin but has a longer half-life, allowing for less frequent dosing. Teicoplanin is particularly useful in treating infections caused by multi-resistant organisms, making it an essential drug in hospital settings.
