Tissue penetration of telavancin after intravenous administration in healthy subjects

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2006 Feb;50(2):788-90. doi: 10.1128/AAC.50.2.788-790.2006.

Abstract

The pharmacokinetic disposition of telavancin administered 7.5 mg/kg of body weight every 24 h was determined in plasma and skin blister fluid. The mean penetration of telavancin into blister fluid was 40%. This study reveals that adequate concentrations are achieved in both plasma and blister fluid for pathogens frequently implicated in skin and soft tissue infections.
