Why is this medication prescribed?

The skin infection drug dalabavancin injection is used to treat bacterial skin infections. The drug dalbavancin belongs to the group of drugs known as lipoglycopeptide antibiotics. It eliminates bacteria to operate.

In contrast to antibiotics like dalbavancin, viruses that cause colds, the flu, and other diseases cannot be eradicated. Antibiotic overuse raises the likelihood that you’ll get an infection later on that is resistant to antibiotic therapy.

How should this medicine be used?

In a hospital or clinic, a doctor or nurse will administer a dalbavancin injection intravenously (into a vein) over the course of 30 minutes after mixing the powder with solution. It is frequently administered in a single dose or twice weekly.

Upon getting an injection of dalbavancin, you can have an adverse reaction. If you have any of the following symptoms while taking dalbavancin: sudden reddening of the face, neck, or upper chest; itching; rash; or hives, call your doctor right once. Until your symptoms are better, your doctor can reduce or stop the infusion.

After obtaining treatment with dalbavancin injection, you should start to feel better. Call your doctor if your symptoms don’t go away or get worse.
