Description
Widebac is a glycylcycline antibacterial agent for intravenous infusion. Widebac inhibits protein translation in bacteria by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocking entry of amino-acyl tRNA molecules into the A site of the ribosome. This prevents incorporation of amino acid residues into elongating peptide chains. To date there has been no cross-resistance observed between Widebac and other antibacterials.
Pharmacology
Tigecycline, a glycylcycline, inhibits protein translation in bacteria by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocking entry of amino-acyl tRNA molecules into the A site of the ribosome. This prevents incorporation of amino acid residues into elongating peptide chains. Tigecycline carries a glycylamido moiety attached to the 9-position of minocycline. The substitution pattern is not present in any naturally occurring or semisynthetic tetracycline and imparts certain microbiologic properties to tigecycline. Tigecycline is not affected by the two major tetracycline resistance mechanisms, ribosomal protection and efflux. Accordingly, tigecycline has demonstrated in vitro and in vivo activity against a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens. There has been no cross resistance observed between tigecycline and other antibiotics. Tigecycline is not affected by resistance mechanisms such as beta-lactamases (including extended spectrum beta-lactamases), target site modifications, macrolide efflux pumps or enzyme target changes (e.g. gyrase/topoisomerase). In vitro studies have not demonstrated antagonism between tigecycline and other commonly used antibacterial drugs. In general, tigecycline is considered bacteriostatic.
Dosage & Administration
The duration of therapy should be guided by the severity and site of the infection and the patient's clinical and bacteriological progress. The recommended duration of treatment with Tigecycline for complicated skin and skin structure infections or for complicated intra-abdominal infections is 5 to 14 days and for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia is 7 to 14 days. The recommended daily dose is as follows:
Adults: The recommended dosage regimen for Tigecycline is an initial dose of 100 mg, followed by 50 mg every 12 hours. Intravenous (IV) infusions of Tigecycline should be administered over approximately 30 to 60 minutes every 12 hours.
Pediatric use: Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 18 years have not been established.
Geriatric use: No unexpected overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects.

Interaction
Drug interaction of Widebac with Digoxin and Warfarin is observed.
Contraindications
Tigecycline is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivety to any components of this product.
Side Effects
The most common treatment-emergent adverse events are nausea and vomiting which generally occurre during the first 1-2 days of therapy. The following drug-related adverse events are reported infrequently in patients receiving Widebac: Injection site inflammation & pain, septic shock, allergic reaction, chills, thrombophlebitis, bradycardia, tachycardia, vasodilatation, anorexia, dry mouth, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, prolonged prothrombin time, eosinophilia, thrombocytopenia, vaginal moniliasis, vaginitis, leukorrhea.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Tigecycline should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Caution should be exercised when Tigecycline is administered to a nursing woman.
Precautions & Warnings
Widebac is structurally similar to Tetracycline-class antibiotics and should be administered with caution in patients with known hypersensitivity to Tetracycline-class antibiotics.
Overdose Effects
No specific information is available on the treatment of overdosage with Widebac. Intravenous administration of Widebac at a single dose of 300 mg over 60 minutes in healthy volunteers resulted in an increased incidence of nausea and vomiting.
Therapeutic Class
Tetracycline group of drugs
Reconstitution
Each vial of Widebac should be reconstituted with 5.3 ml of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection to achieve a concentration of 10 mg/ml of Widebac. The vial should be gently swirled until the drug dissolves. Withdraw 5 ml of the reconstituted solution from the vial and add to a 100 ml intravenous bag of 0.9% Sodium Chloride or 5% Dextrose for infusion (for a 100 mg dose, reconstitute two vials; for a 50 mg dose, reconstitute one vial). The maximum concentration of IV solution should be 1 mg/ml. If the same intravenous line is used for sequential infusion of several drugs, the line should be flushed before and after infusion of Widebac with either 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection or 5% Dextrose Injection.
Widebac is compatible with the following IV fluid:
Widebac is compatible with the following IV fluid:
- 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection
- 5% Dextrose Injection
- Lactated Ringer’s Injection
Storage Conditions
Before reconstitution: Store in a refrigerator (2-8°C). Do not freeze. Once reconstituted, Widebac may be stored at room temperature for up to 24 hours (up to 6 hours in the vial and the remaining time in the intravenous bag). Reconstituted solution may be stored refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C for up to 48 hours following immediate transfer of reconstituted solution into the intravenous bag.
