Description
Teicoplanin Product Overview
Teicoplanin is a mixture of closely related glycopeptides produced by fermentation with Actinoplanes teichomyceticus; the main components are the A2-1 to A2-5 and A3-1 factors. It is an off-white to pale yellow powder that dissolves in water, and its strength is expressed as potency.
Pharmaceutical companies use it in lyophilized powders for intravenous and intramuscular injection in hospitals. It belongs to the same class as Vancomycin hydrochloride, but its long half-life allows once-daily dosing. Because the composition is a mixture, the ratio of its components is specified and controlled.
Zyntex supplies it from qualified producers, only to licensed pharmaceutical companies with sterile production capabilities. Other injectable hospital antibiotics in our range include Piperacillin Tazobactam and Cefepime + Arginine Sterile.
