FDA Approved Antibiotic Combats Complex Infections With Limited Treatment Options

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved EMBLAVEO™, a new antibiotic combination developed to treat complicated intra-abdominal infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria. This approval marks a significant step forward in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a growing global health concern. EMBLAVEO™ is specifically designed to target bacteria that have become resistant to many existing antibiotics, offering a much-needed treatment option for patients facing limited choices in managing severe infections.
