What is Teicoplanin used for?
Teicoplanin is an antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including those affecting the skin, lungs, bones, and joints. It is also effective against infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

What does Teicoplanin interact with?
Teicoplanin may interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, diuretics, and blood thinners.
