Costs and sales revenue

edit

What can we say about the cost of a course of telavancin, and the sales revenues since FDA approval ? - Rod57 (talk) 11:01, 4 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Is it still being sold ? [1] says "The drug was sold ... by Astellas Pharma Inc. until it returned the drug to Theravance in January [2012?]." - Rod57 (talk) 11:22, 4 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

When was it first made

edit

When was it made and patented. How is it synthesised ? What changes from vancomycin ? - Rod57 (talk) 13:16, 6 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Efficacy

edit

What clinical trial results are there that show how it compares to vancomycin ? When would one use telavancin rather than vancomycin ? - Rod57 (talk) 13:43, 6 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Half-life in humans

edit

Info box just says "9 hours" (whereas vancomycin says "Half-life : 4–11 hours (adults) 6-10 days (adults, impaired renal function)") - Does telavancin have a longer half-life than vancomycin, and is that good, or the reason for more toxicity ? - Rod57 (talk) 13:56, 6 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
