Overview

Tigecycline Accord is a medicine used to treat adults and children older than eight years with complicated infections of the skin and soft tissue (the tissue below the skin), but not foot infections in people with diabetes. It is also used to treat complicated infections in the abdomen. ‘Complicated’ means that the infection is difficult to treat because it has spread, or the patient has other conditions that makes treatment difficult. Tigecycline Accord should be used only when other antibiotics are not suitable. Before using Tigecycline Accord, doctors should consider official guidance on the appropriate use of antibiotics.

Tigecycline Accord is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that Tigecycline Accord contains the same active substance and works in the same way as a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the EU called Tygacil. For more information on generic medicines, see the question-and-answer document here.

Tigecycline Accord contains the active substance tigecycline.
