Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Tetpidtar Work?
Tetpidtar works by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, preventing the synthesis of essential proteins. Without these proteins, the bacteria cannot grow or multiply, allowing the body's immune system to eliminate the infection.
Common Dosages
- 250 mg oral tablets or capsules
- 500 mg oral tablets or capsules
Typical Dosing
- For bacterial infections: The usual dosage is 250 mg to 500 mg every 6 to 12 hours, depending on the severity and type of infection.
- For acne: Lower doses of 250 mg to 500 mg once or twice daily may be used, with treatment duration depending on the patient's response.
