• Skin Infections: Complicated and uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections.

• MRSA: Infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

• VRE: Infections caused by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium.

Important Safety Notes

Prescription Only: This is an Rx drug. It must only be used under the direct supervision of a healthcare professional.
