What is Eravacycline Injection?

Eravacycline injection used to treat infections of the abdomen (stomach area). Eravacycline injection is in a class of medications called tetracycline antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria that cause infection.

Antibiotics such as eravacycline injection will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. Using antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.

How should I use Eravacycline Injection

Eravacycline comes as a powder to be mixed with fluid and injected into a vein. It is usually given over a period of 60 minutes once every 12 hours for 4 to 14 days. The length of treatment is will depend on your condition and how your body responds to the medication.

You may receive eravacycline injection in a hospital or you may use the medication at home. If you will be using eravacycline injection at home, your healthcare provider will show you how to infuse the medication. Be sure that you understand these directions, and ask your healthcare provider if you have any questions. Ask your healthcare provider what to do if you have any problems infusing eravacycline injection.

You should begin to feel better during the first few days of treatment with eravacycline. If your symptoms do not improve or get worse, call your doctor.

Use eravacycline until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better. If you stop using eravacycline too soon or skip doses, your infection may not be completely treated and the bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics.

Before Taking

Before receiving eravacycline injection,

Ask your pharmacist for a list of the ingredients.
  • tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: anticoagulants ('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven); itraconazole (Onmel, Sporanox); and rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane, in Rifamate, in Rifater). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects. Many other medications may also interact with eravacycline injection, so be sure to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking, even those that do not appear on this list.
