A member asked:
How long tygacil is prescribed for bacterial infectious disease? does it cause increased mortality?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For resistance...: Tigecycline (Tygacil) is an antibiotic used to treat infections resistant to other antibiotics. Being such, the dose and duration are decided upon by Infectious Diseases specialists, and depend on an individual patient's case. If asking whether the medication causes more mortality, the answer would be, "No, the medication does not CAUSE a person's mortality," but doctors do track such concerns.
