WHAT
ZINPLAVA IS
AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
ZINPLAVA
contains the active substance bezlotoxumab.
ZINPLAVA
is a medicine that is given together with an antibiotic
to prevent Clostridioides difficile
infection (CDI)
from coming back
in
adults and children 1
year of age or older who have a high risk of
CDI coming back.
HOW
ZINPLAVA WORKS
•
When people get CDI, they
are usually given
an antibiotic to get rid of the infection
, but CDI
can often
come back within weeks or months
.
•
The bacteria responsible for CDI produce a toxin that can inflame and
damage your colo
n,
causing stomach pain and
severe diarrhoea.
ZINPLAVA
acts by attaching to the toxin and
blocking it, thereby preventing the symptoms of CDI
from coming back
.
