CHLORAMPHENICOL vs XERAVA
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing peptide bond formation.
Eravacycline is a tetracycline-class antibacterial that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing aminoacyl-tRNA from attaching to the A-site. It exhibits activity against a broad range of Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria, including many tetracycline-resistant strains due to modifications circumventing common resistance mechanisms.
50-100 mg/kg/day IV divided every 6 hours (not to exceed 4 g/day); for susceptible severe infections, 12.5-25 mg/kg IV every 6 hours.
200 mg intravenously over 60 minutes every 12 hours

1.5-4.0 hours in adults; prolonged to 3-7 hours in neonates and up to 24 hours in severe hepatic impairment
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 42 hours (range 30-60 hours) in healthy subjects; prolonged in elderly patients and those with severe hepatic impairment.
