According To Your Needs
VERCAP is a BP-compliant, lyophilized capreomycin injection. It treats drug-resistant tuberculosis effectively. As a result, TB treatment centers commonly include it in second-line regimens for multidrug-resistant cases.
The kit combines:
- Capreomycin BP (1g, Lyophilized) – This cyclic peptide antibiotic inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by disrupting ribosomal function. Consequently, it suppresses growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including strains resistant to first-line therapy.
- Sterile Water for Injection BP (5ml) – This accompanying diluent reconstitutes the lyophilized powder. Therefore, it prepares the product for immediate I.V. or I.M. administration.
Because capreomycin remains active against many resistant M. tuberculosis strains, VERCAP suits multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment as part of a combination second-line regimen. Therefore, specialist TB centers commonly reserve it for cases where first-line antitubercular drugs have failed or aren’t tolerated.
