2. Product Description

Tigebax Injection contains Tigecycline, a broad-spectrum glycylcycline antibiotic structurally related to tetracyclines. It is used to treat complicated infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. Tigecycline works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis through binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, thereby preventing bacterial growth.

It is generally reserved for complicated infections where other antibiotics may not be effective.
