WHAT VIBATIV IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
VIBATIV contains telavancin as active substance, which is an
antibiotic of the glycopeptide group.
VIBATIV is used to treat adult patients with infections of the lungs
that have developed in the
hospital, including patients on artificial ventilation, when these
infections are known or suspected to
be caused by bacteria called methicillin-resistant _Staphylococcus
aureus_ (MRSA).
It is only used when the bacteria that cause these infections can be
killed with telavancin. VIBATIV
can only be used when other antibiotics are not suitable.
If you also have other bacteria that cause your infection, your doctor
may prescribe other antibiotics in
addition to VIBATIV.
