1. What is Tenkasi and what is it used for

Tenkasi is an antibiotic that contains the active substance oritavancin. Oritavancin is a type of antibiotic (a lipoglycopeptide antibiotic) that can kill or stop the growth of certain bacteria.

Tenkasi is used to treat skin and soft tissue infections.

It is only used to treat adult patients.

Tenkasi can only be used to treat infections caused by bacteria known as Gram-positive bacteria. In the case of mixed infections where the presence of other types of bacteria is suspected, your doctor will provide you with other appropriate antibiotics along with Tenkasi.

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you are given Tenkasi

You should not be givenTenkasi:

  • if you are allergic to oritavancin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • if you are expected to need to be given a medicine to make your blood less thick (unfractionated heparin sodium) in the 5 days (120 hours) following the dose of Tenkasi.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or nurse before receiving Tenkasi if:

  • you have ever had an allergic reaction to another glycopeptide antibiotic (such as vancomycin and telavancin)
  • you have had severe diarrhea during or after antibiotic treatment in the past.
  • you have or are suspected to have a bone infection caused by bacteria (osteomyelitis). Your doctor will treat you as necessary
  • You have or are suspected to have a painful accumulation of pus in the skin (abscess). Your doctor will treat you as necessary.

Intravenous infusions of Tenkasi can cause redness of the upper body, hives, itching and/or rash. Infusion-related reactions such as chest pain, chest discomfort, chills, shivers, back pain, neck pain, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, fever, and headache, fatigue, drowsiness that could be symptoms of hypoxia have also been observed. If you experience reactions of this type, your doctor may decide to stop or slow down the infusion.

Tenkasi may interfere with laboratory tests that measure blood clotting and may produce a false reading.

Although antibiotics, including Tenkasi, fight certain bacteria, they may not be active against other bacteria or fungi, which may continue to grow. This is called overgrowth. Your doctor will monitor you for this and treat you if necessary.

After you are given Tenkasi, you may develop a new infection in another area of the skin. Your doctor should monitor you for this and treat you as necessary.

Children and adolescents

Tenkasi should not be used in children or adolescents under 18 years of age.

Using Tenkasi with other medicines

Tell your doctor if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicines.

If you are going to be given a medicine to make your blood less thick called unfractionated heparin, tell your doctor if you have received Tenkasi in the last 5 days (120 hours).

It is especially important that you tell your doctor if you are using medicines that prevent blood from clotting (oral anticoagulants, e.g. coumarin anticoagulants). Tenkasi may interfere with laboratory tests or self-tests that measure blood clotting (INR), and may cause a false reading up to 12 hours after infusion.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine.

You should not be given this medicine during pregnancy unless your doctor considers that the benefit is greater than the risk to the baby.

Tenkasi can make you feel dizzy, so it may affect your ability to drive or use machines.

Tenkasi contains cyclodextrins

Tenkasi 1200 mg contains 2400 mg of hydroxypropylbetadex in each vial, equivalent to 9.6 mg/ml.

3. How Tenkasi is given

Your doctor or nurse will carefully administer Tenkasi 1200 mg by infusion (drip) into a vein.

The recommended dose of Tenkasi is a single infusion of 1200 mg administered into a vein over 1 hour.

Other sources of information

Detailed information on this medicine is available on the European Medicines Agency website: http://www.ema.europa.eu.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This information is intended only for healthcare professionals:

Tenkasi is intended for intravenous (IV) administration only, after reconstitution and dilution.

Tenkasi should be prepared using aseptic techniques.

There are two medicines that contain oritavancin (Tenkasi 400 mg and Tenkasi 1200 mg) that:

  • Are supplied in different doses of oritavancin.
  • Have a different recommended infusion duration.
  • Have different preparation instructions, including differences in reconstitution, dilution, and compatible diluents.

Follow the recommended instructions for each medicine carefully.

The Tenkasi 1200 mg vial should be reconstituted and diluted to prepare a single intravenous dose of 1200 mg. The powder should be reconstituted with sterile water for injection and the resulting concentrate should be diluted in an intravenous infusion bag with glucose 5% or sodium chloride 9 mg/ml (0.9%) before use. Both the reconstituted solution and the diluted infusion solution should be clear and colorless to pink. Parenteral medicines should be inspected visually for particulate matter after reconstitution. Aseptic techniques should be used for the preparation of Tenkasi.

Reconstitution:

  • 40 ml of sterile water for injection should be added using a sterile syringe to reconstitute the vial to provide a 30 mg/ml solution per vial.
  • To avoid excessive foam formation, it is recommended to add the sterile water for injection carefully, along the wall of the vials.
  • The vial should be gently swirled to avoid foam formation and to ensure that all the Tenkasi powder is completely reconstituted in the solution.

Dilution: For dilution, glucose 5% (D5W) or sodium chloride 9 mg/ml (0.9%) in an intravenous infusion bag should be used.

To dilute:

  • 40 ml should be withdrawn and discarded from a 250 ml intravenous infusion bag of glucose 5% or sodium chloride 0.9%.
  • 40 ml should be withdrawn from the reconstituted vial and added to a 250 ml intravenous infusion bag of glucose 5% or sodium chloride 0.9% to achieve a volume of 250 ml. This provides a concentration of oritavancin of 4.8 mg/ml. For preparation of administration, PP (polypropylene) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) bags should be used.

The diluted solution should be used immediately.

From a microbiological point of view, the medicine should be used immediately. If not used immediately, the storage times and conditions before use are the responsibility of the user and normally should not exceed 4 hours at a temperature of 25 °C and 12 hours at a temperature between 2 °C and 8 °C for Tenkasi diluted in an intravenous infusion bag with glucose 5% or sodium chloride 0.9%.
