Date of Approval
The U.S. FDA (food drug and administration) approved dalbavancin in may 23, 2014, is used to treat bacterial infection.
Mechanism of Action of Dalbavancin
Dalbavancin acts by inhibiting the synthesis of cell walls in bacteria by binding with the peptidoglycan of the bacteria. It is involved in bactericidal activity. It is the reason that the drug is effective against gram-positive bacteria (which have thick peptidoglycan) compared to gram-negative bacteria.

Biapenem
Description
This page contains brief details about the drug biapenem, it’s indication, dosage & administaration, mechanism of action, related brands with strength, warnings and common side effects.
Date of Approval
Biapenem contains the active component Biapenem. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic medication used to treat various bacterial infections. It belongs to the class of antibiotics known as third-generation cephalosporins. This medication works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria, helping the immune system eliminate the infection. Biapenem is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Mechanism of Action of Biapenem
Biapenem exerts a therapeutic effect by inhibiting the growth and spread of bacterial infections. As a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic, it demonstrates potent activity against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. By binding to specific bacterial enzymes called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), this medication disrupts the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell lysis and death. Its broad coverage makes it effective against various multidrug-resistant bacteria, offering a valuable treatment option in severe or complicated infections.
Uses of Biapenem
Biapenem is indicated for complicated intra-abdominal infections, urinary tract infections, and pneumonia. It also treats complicated skin and soft tissue infections, including diabetic foot infections. Its effectiveness against multidrug-resistant bacteria makes it a valuable option in healthcare-associated and nosocomial infections.
Biapenem Dosage available
Biapenem is typically administered through injection by a healthcare professional. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the specific infection being treated, the severity of the infection, and individual patient factors such as age and overall health.
