Product Overview
About Tigecycline Accord
Tigecycline Accord is an antibiotic medicine that contains the active substance tigecycline. It was to be available as a powder to make a solution for infusion (drip) into a vein. Tigecycline Accord was developed as a 'generic medicine'. This means that Tigecycline Accord contains the same active substance and was intended to work in the same way as a 'reference medicine' already authorised in the European Union called Tygacil.
What it is used for
Tigecycline Accord was expected to be used to treat adults and children older than 8 years with complicated infections of the skin and soft tissue (the tissue below the skin), except foot infections in people with diabetes. It was also intended to treat complicated infections in the abdomen (belly). 'Complicated' means that the infection is difficult to treat. It was intended for use only when other antibiotics were not suitable.

How it works
The active substance in Tigecycline Accord and Tygacil, tigecycline, is one of a group of antibiotics called 'glycylcyclines'. It works against the bacteria that cause infections by blocking the bacteria's ribosomes, the parts of the cell where new proteins are made. Because the medicine blocks the production of new proteins, the bacteria cannot multiply and they eventually die.
