Celplanin 200mg Injection works by stopping the growth of bacteria and is useful for treating adults as well as children. It is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic that only covers the gram-positive type of bacteria. This medicine is given by drip or by direct injection into a vein, under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It may also be combined with other antibiotics to treat additional types of bacteria.
It is a semisynthetic glycopeptide antibiotic with a spectrum of activity similar to vancomycin. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis. 260 °C (500 °F)
Teicoplanin is eliminated predominantly by the kidneys and only 2 to 3% of an intravenously administered dose is metabolised. Total clearance is 11 ml/h/kg. Steady state is reached only slowly, 93% after 14 days of repeated administration.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
