About Tigekos 50mg Injection

TIGECYCLINE belongs to the class of 'antibiotics,' primarily used to treat bacterial infections like abdominal infections, community-acquired pneumonia (lung infection), and complicated skin and skin structure infections. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. TIGECYCLINE does not work for viral infections, such as common cold and flu.

TIGECYCLINE contains 'Tigecycline' that belongs to the class of 'glycylcyclines'. It works by preventing the synthesis of bacterial proteins, which are the primary cursors for carrying out bacteria's vital functions. This process further inhibits bacterial growth.
